Last updated: August 2026 dataCereal pellets — compressed or extruded forms of wheat and other grains — serve as intermediate inputs for animal feed compounders, breakfast cereal manufacturers, and snack food extruders. The US schedule separates wheat pellets (1103200010) from pellets of other cereals (1103200090), with Canada the dominant supplier and Italy a notable source of specialty grain pellets. Unlike flour or meal, pellets have undergone a forming process that affects bulk density and handling logistics, making moisture content and binding specifications critical quality parameters in trade contracts. The heading does not cover rice pellets, which are classified elsewhere.

Both end uses are possible. Wheat and cereal pellets are used as intermediate inputs in human food manufacturing (e.g., breakfast cereals, snack bases) as well as in compound animal feed. The intended end use affects labeling and, for animal feed, may trigger FDA or state feed-registration requirements. Importers should confirm the end-use designation before entry to ensure correct regulatory treatment.
Groats and meal are simply milled or broken grain particles, while pellets have been further processed by agglomeration or extrusion into a compressed, uniform shape. This forming step is the key classification criterion: a product that has been pelleted — regardless of the grain type — belongs under 110320, whereas unformed milled grain falls under the 1103.1x subheadings.
