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.
