Last updated: August 2026 dataOat groats (1103191200) and rice meal (1103191400) anchor this heading commercially, with oat groats serving as a primary input for rolled-oat and instant-oatmeal production and rice meal used in gluten-free food manufacturing. Canada is the dominant supplier — consistent with its large oat-processing sector — while India, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and Poland reflect the diversity of rice and specialty cereal milling sources. FDA food-import requirements apply across all lines in this heading. A recurring classification question involves the boundary between groats (minimally processed whole kernels) and more heavily processed flaked or rolled products, which may shift to heading 1104.

Heading 1103 covers groats and meal — products that are cracked, cut, or ground but not further processed. Once oat groats are steamed and rolled into flakes, they become rolled or flaked grains classifiable under heading 1104. The key is whether the kernel has been flattened or otherwise restructured; minimally processed steel-cut oats typically remain in 1103, while old-fashioned or quick oats move to 1104. Importers should confirm the processing method with the supplier and document it for CBP.
Uzbekistan is a significant producer of rice, and rice meal or groats milled there can be competitively priced for export. The country's rice-processing industry has expanded capacity in recent years, making it a viable source for US importers seeking alternatives to traditional Asian suppliers. Importers should verify that Uzbek facilities meet FDA registration and food-safety requirements before establishing a supply relationship.
