About heading 1103
Cereal groats, meal and pellets
Heading 1103 covers cereal groats, meal and pellets. Groats and meal are the coarsely ground or crushed kernels of cereal grains, and the heading splits first by whether the product is groats/meal or pellets, then by the cereal: wheat, corn (maize), or other cereals. Wheat entries further separate semolina from other wheat meal, and the other-cereal group separates oats, rice and the rest.
