Last updated: April 2026 dataMilling residues from cereals not elsewhere specified — including rice, oats, barley, rye, and sorghum — are grouped under this catch-all heading, making correct identification of the source grain essential for both nutritional and regulatory purposes. Rice bran, the most commercially significant product in this group, contains a relatively high oil content that can cause rapid rancidity unless stabilized, a factor that strongly influences shelf life and storage requirements. Importers should document the specific cereal source on commercial invoices to avoid classification disputes at entry.

Rice bran contains lipase enzymes that rapidly hydrolyze its native oil after milling, causing free fatty acid levels to rise and the product to become rancid within days if untreated. Commercially traded rice bran is typically heat-stabilized to inactivate lipase; buyers should request a certificate of stabilization and check free fatty acid content specifications before contracting.
Because this heading aggregates residues from multiple cereals, US Customs and Border Protection may request supporting documentation — such as a mill certificate or supplier declaration — identifying the source grain. Providing this on the commercial invoice or as an attachment reduces the risk of a request for information or a classification challenge at the port of entry.
