Rolled Oats from Japan
Rolled oats are oat grains that have been steamed and flattened between rollers, creating a quick-cooking product used in oatmeal and baking. They fall under HTS 1104.22.00.00 as 'other worked grains of oats' since they are rolled cereal grains, distinct from fine meals or flours in heading 1103. This classification applies to whole, rolled oat kernels retaining their grain structure.
