1101.00.00 - Wheat or meslin flour

This HTS category, 1101.00.00, specifically covers flour derived from wheat or meslin. Meslin refers to a mixture of wheat and rye. The classification is based on the milled grain product itself, regardless of whether it is enriched or not.

It's important to distinguish this category from other products of the milling industry found in Chapter 11. For instance, while also derived from grains, this category is exclusively for wheat and meslin flour and does not include flours made from other cereals such as barley (Chapter 11.02), corn (Chapter 11.03), or rice (Chapter 11.02). Furthermore, it excludes preparations of flour, such as pasta or baked goods, which would fall under different HTS chapters.

Within this broad classification, further subdivisions exist to capture the specific types of wheat flour. The subcategories, such as 1101.00.00.10 (Hard spring wheat), 1101.00.00.20 (Durum wheat), and 1101.00.00.30 (White winter wheat), allow for more granular tracking and potential variations in import duties or regulations based on the specific wheat variety used in the flour's production. The residual "Other" category captures any wheat or meslin flour not specifically enumerated.
