Last updated: July 2026 dataWheat groats and meal — including semolina — are intermediate milling products positioned between whole grain and flour, widely used in pasta production, breakfast cereals, and specialty baking. The US schedule separates semolina (1103110020) from other wheat groats and meal (1103110040), a distinction that matters for food manufacturers sourcing specific particle-size and protein-content specifications. Mexico and Canada lead US imports under this heading, with Italy a significant source of durum-based semolina prized by pasta producers. Tariff treatment may differ by product subdivision, and importers should confirm the correct line based on the degree of milling and intended end use.

Semolina is a coarsely milled product derived primarily from durum wheat, with a characteristic granular texture and high protein content. Under US HTS, semolina falls under 1103110020, while other wheat groats and meal that do not meet the semolina specification are classified under 1103110040. The distinction turns on particle size, milling method, and sometimes the wheat variety used.
Pasta manufacturers are the primary buyers of durum semolina, while breakfast cereal producers and specialty food companies source wheat groats for porridge-style and whole-grain products. Artisan bakers also use coarse wheat meal in specialty breads. Protein content, ash level, and granulation are the key quality parameters negotiated in commercial contracts.
