Wheat pellets are mechanically compressed particles of wheat meal or groats and are classified separately from flour, which is a finely ground product. The physical form — particle size, moisture, and whether the product has been agglomerated — is the key classification criterion; importers should retain production specifications and lab analysis to support the declared classification.

Wheat groats and meal serve both human food applications — including hot cereals, specialty baked goods, and health food products — and animal feed formulations. The intended end-use determines which regulatory framework (FDA food safety vs. feed-grade standards) governs the shipment, so commercial invoices should clearly state the declared use.
