1103.11.00.20 - Semolina 🖩

This category, HTS 1103.11.00.20, specifically classifies semolina derived from wheat. Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, characterized by its granular texture and golden-yellow color. It is produced by grinding durum wheat into coarse granules, distinct from finely milled flour. Semolina's primary uses include pasta production, couscous, and certain types of bread and breakfast cereals.

The distinction between this specific classification and its sibling, 1103.11.00.40 "Other," lies in the precise identification of the product as semolina. While the "Other" category would encompass any wheat groats or meal that does not meet the specific definition of semolina, this classification is reserved solely for that particular product. This ensures accurate tariff application based on the distinct milling process and end-use characteristics of semolina.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies on confirming that the imported goods are indeed coarse granules of durum wheat intended for use as semolina, as opposed to other forms of wheat groats or meal. The granular size, the type of wheat used (durum), and its typical applications are key identifiers for correct classification.
