Last updated: August 2026 dataPuffed grains, popped cereals, and roasted cereal products — including puffed rice, popcorn-based snacks, and expanded corn products — are classified here based on the swelling or roasting process that transforms the raw grain. The US schedule divides the heading between sugar-containing (1904100040) and sugar-free (1904100080) products, a distinction that affects both duty treatment and FDA labeling requirements for added-sugar declarations. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, consistent with integrated North American snack-food supply chains, with Germany and South Korea also notable sources.

190410 requires that the cereal or cereal product be prepared specifically by swelling (puffing, expanding) or roasting. Products made from unroasted flakes or mixtures of roasted and unroasted flakes belong under 190420, while pre-cooked or otherwise prepared cereals in grain form that are not puffed or roasted fall under 190490. The physical transformation process — not the end product's appearance — is the classification anchor.
Beyond potential duty-rate differences, the sugar distinction has labeling implications: FDA's Nutrition Facts panel rules require added-sugar declarations, and products with sugar coatings or inclusions must accurately reflect sugar content. Misclassifying a sugar-containing product as sugar-free can trigger both CBP reclassification and FDA labeling violations.
