Prepared Foods from Swelled or Roasted Cereals

Puffed, popped, and roasted cereal-based snack and breakfast foods — including puffed rice, popcorn-style products, and roasted grain preparations — are classified under heading 190410, with the US schedule separating sugar-containing products (1904100040) from those without added sugar (1904100080). The sugar-content distinction affects both duty treatment and labeling requirements under FDA food standards. Canada and Mexico are the leading import sources, with Germany, South Korea, and India also supplying the US market, reflecting both proximity-driven trade and the global reach of the snack food industry.
