1102.90.30.00 - Mixtures 🖩

This HTS category, 1102.90.30.00, specifically classifies mixtures of cereal flours that are not derived from wheat or meslin. It encompasses blends where the primary component is flour from grains other than wheat, such as rice flour, corn flour, barley flour, or rye flour, which are then combined. The key criterion for inclusion here is the presence of multiple cereal flours in a mixture, where none of the constituent flours individually meet the definitions of specific preceding subheadings within the "Other" category for non-wheat cereal flours.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1102.90.60.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under the broader "Other" classification for cereal flours not of wheat or meslin, this specific subheading is reserved for *mixtures*. The sibling category, 1102.90.60.00, would typically cover single-origin cereal flours that do not fit into any more specific prior classifications within this chapter. Therefore, if a product consists of only rye flour, it would likely fall under the sibling, whereas a blend of rice and corn flour would be classified here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is final at this level. Practical classification for this code relies on analyzing the components of the flour mixture. Importers and exporters must be able to identify the constituent cereal flours and confirm that they are indeed a blend, and that the blend does not predominantly consist of wheat or meslin flour, nor solely of a single type of non-wheat cereal flour that could be classified elsewhere.
