1102.90.60.00 - Other

HTS code 1102.90.60.00, designated as "Other," encompasses cereal flours, excluding those derived from wheat or meslin, that do not fall into pre-defined subcategories. This residual classification is applied to flours made from grains such as corn (maize), rice, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, millet, and sorghum, provided they are not classified under more specific provisions. The crucial criterion for inclusion here is that the flour must be a product of the milling industry, meaning it is obtained by grinding cereal grains.

This category serves as a catch-all for cereal flours not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 1102. For instance, it is distinct from the sibling category 1102.90.30.00, which covers "Mixtures." Therefore, a flour that is a blend of two or more different cereal flours (e.g., a corn and rice flour blend) would be classified under 1102.90.30.00, while a pure rice flour, not fitting any other specific designation, would fall under 1102.90.60.00.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 1102.90.60.00 does not have further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level rely heavily on identifying the specific cereal grain from which the flour is derived and confirming it is not a mixture or specifically provided for elsewhere within Chapter 11. This ensures that all qualifying cereal flours are correctly accounted for, maintaining the integrity of trade data and customs duties.
