1904.10.00.80 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1904.10.00.80, encompasses prepared foodstuffs derived from the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products that do not contain cane and/or beet sugar. This includes items like puffed rice, roasted corn, and other expanded cereal snacks, provided they are not specifically formulated with added cane and/or beet sugar. The key characteristic is the physical transformation of the cereal through swelling or roasting to create a ready-to-eat product.

It is important to distinguish this classification from its sibling category, 1904.10.00.40, which specifically covers similar prepared cereal foods that *do* contain cane and/or beet sugar. Therefore, the presence or absence of these specific sugars is the primary differentiator for items falling under these two subheadings within the broader category of prepared foods obtained by swelling or roasting cereals.

As a leaf node, 1904.10.00.80 does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a careful examination of the product's composition, particularly the absence of cane and/or beet sugar, to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with customs regulations. If a product meets the definition of a prepared food obtained by swelling or roasting cereals but contains these specified sugars, it would be classified under the sibling category.
