Products classified under HTS 1104.23.00.00

Corn Grits

Corn grits are made by coarsely grinding whole corn kernels after hulling and degerming, resulting in small, irregular particles used primarily for breakfast porridge or polenta. They fall under HTS 1104.23.00.00 as worked corn grains that do not meet the fine particle size criteria for heading 1103 (less than 95% passing a 2mm sieve). This classification applies to products like hominy grits that retain a coarser texture.

Corn Flakes Base

Corn flakes base consists of whole corn kernels that have been hulled, cooked, and rolled into flakes before final toasting and sugaring in consumer products. Classified under HTS 1104.23.00.00 as rolled corn grains not meeting the fine milling criteria of heading 1103. Used by breakfast cereal manufacturers as intermediate goods.

Hulled Hominy

Hulled hominy is whole corn kernels processed by alkali treatment (lye) to remove hulls and germ, leaving intact kernels for traditional dishes like pozole. Falls under HTS 1104.23.00.00 as hulled corn grains not finely fragmented per heading 1103 sieve definitions. Distinct from nixtamalized masa due to whole kernel form.

Kibbled Corn

Kibbled corn consists of corn kernels coarsely chopped or cracked into irregular pieces after hulling, used in animal feed premixes and brewing adjuncts. HTS 1104.23.00.00 covers this as sliced/kibbled corn not meeting meal sieve standards of 1103. Particle size typically 3-8mm chunks.

Rolled Corn Flake Oats Blend Base

Rolled corn flake oats blend base combines rolled corn with minor oat components for multi-grain cereal production, where corn predominates. Classified HTS 1104.23.00.00 as primarily worked corn grains. Used by manufacturers before final flake processing.

Pearled Corn Kernels

Pearled corn kernels have outer bran layers removed through abrasion while maintaining whole kernel shape, used in soups and salads. HTS 1104.23.00.00 applies as pearled corn not fragmented to groat/meal standards. Smoother texture than hulled corn.

Flaked Corn for Tortilla Production

Flaked corn for tortilla production involves nixtamalized corn kernels rolled into thin flakes as intermediate for masa and tortillas. Under HTS 1104.23.00.00 as rolled worked corn grains before final grinding. Common in Mexican food manufacturing.

Sliced Corn for Brewing

Sliced corn consists of corn kernels cut into uniform slices serving as brewing adjunct to provide fermentable sugars in beer production. HTS 1104.23.00.00 classification for sliced worked corn not qualifying as meal. Typically 2-4mm thick slices.

Cracked Corn #2 Medium

Cracked corn #2 medium grade features corn kernels broken into 2-4mm pieces after hull removal, standard for poultry layer feed. Classified HTS 1104.23.00.00 as worked grains not fine enough for 1103 meal definition. Consistent sizing critical for nutrition.

Steam-Flaked Corn

Steam-flaked corn undergoes steam conditioning followed by rolling into dense flakes improving cattle feed digestibility. HTS 1104.23.00.00 as rolled corn grains retaining flake integrity beyond meal sieve limits. Bulk density typically 28-32 lbs/bushel.
