HTS heading 1102 is a 4-digit product category for cereal flours other than wheat or meslin (a wheat-and-rye mixture). It groups flours made from other cereal grains, such as corn, rice, oats, rye, barley, or similar cereals, when the product meets the tariff meaning of “flour.”
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the cereal used to make the flour and then follow the more detailed subheadings and statistical subdivisions. The code may also depend on the product’s exact form, processing, or other wording in the tariff schedule. Read the complete hierarchy from heading 1102 through the applicable 6-digit and 8-digit lines; do not choose a code based only on the product’s marketing name.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is cereal flour and not a meal, groat, grain, starch, baking mix, or prepared food classified elsewhere.
- Identify the grain or cereal material precisely, and verify whether the product is a blend rather than a single-cereal flour.
- Review the legal notes, section and chapter notes, and the full wording of each subheading before selecting the 8-digit code.
- Compare the product’s ingredients, manufacturing process, particle size or form, and packaging with the tariff descriptions and any relevant classification guidance.
- Keep product specifications, ingredient records, and prior rulings available; ask a customs broker or request official classification guidance when the wording or processing is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
