Last updated: April 2026 dataSeparated cereal germ — the nutrient-dense embryo fraction recovered during milling — is classified here regardless of whether it is left whole or further processed into rolled, flaked, or ground forms, all under a single US tariff line (1104300000). Wheat germ is the most commercially significant product in this heading, valued as a dietary supplement ingredient and functional food additive for its vitamin E and protein content. Canada and Italy are leading suppliers, with Mexico also contributing. FDA oversight applies to these food-grade milling fractions, and importers should confirm that labeling and FSMA supplier verification documentation are in order before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No — heading 110430 and its single US tariff line (1104300000) explicitly cover cereal germ in all four physical forms: whole, rolled, flaked, and ground. The classification does not change based on particle size or form, provided the product is still recognizable as separated cereal germ rather than a further-processed food preparation.
Once cereal germ is incorporated into a food preparation — such as a blended supplement, fortified flour, or ready-to-eat product — it typically moves out of Chapter 11 into Chapter 19 or Chapter 21, depending on the nature of the finished product. Pure, separated germ in any of the four listed forms remains in 1104300000. Borderline cases involving blended or flavored germ products should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
