Last updated: August 2026 dataFlours milled from rye, barley, oat, rice, sorghum, and other grains fall into this residual heading, serving a diverse range of food applications from rye bread production to rice flour in gluten-free formulations. Each grain flour carries distinct protein, starch, and moisture profiles that matter to food manufacturers, and these specifications should be documented in commercial invoices to support both classification and buyer acceptance. FDA admissibility review applies to all food-grade cereal flours, and importers should be prepared for sampling if the product or supplier is not well-established in US import records.

Commercial invoices and certificates of analysis should identify the specific grain (e.g., rye, oat, rice, sorghum), the milling method, moisture content, and protein percentage. This documentation supports accurate HTS classification at the 10-digit level — where individual grain flours often have dedicated subheadings — and facilitates FDA admissibility review.
Yes — FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR Part 101) sets a threshold of less than 20 parts per million of gluten for products bearing a gluten-free claim. Importers of rice, sorghum, or other inherently gluten-free grain flours must ensure that cross-contamination controls in the foreign facility meet this standard and that labeling complies with FDA requirements before US distribution.
