About chapter 11

Chapter 11 covers products of the milling industry: wheat and other cereal flours, groats, meal, pellets, malt, starches, inulin and wheat gluten. It sits between raw grain (chapter 10) and finished baked or pasta products (chapter 19) in the processing chain.

Classification tip: Starch classification depends on the plant source (maize, potato, wheat, cassava), and each source usually maps to its own subheading rather than one generic 'starch' code.

Chapter 11 FAQ

Chapter 11 of the Harmonized System covers: products of the milling industry; malt, starches, inulin, wheat gluten. It belongs to section II (Vegetable Products) and contains 9 four-digit headings, 1101–1109.

How many HS codes are in chapter 11?

Chapter 11 contains 9 four-digit headings and 27 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 1101 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 11?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
