HTS heading 1106 groups flours, meals, and powders made from certain plant materials. These include dried leguminous vegetables listed in heading 0713 (such as dried pulses), sago and roots or tubers listed in heading 0714, and products of Chapter 8, which generally covers edible fruits and nuts. The heading describes the form of the product—flour, meal, or powder—and the source material used to make it.
Heading 1106 is only a 4-digit category, not the complete classification. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS subheading, identify the material first and then follow the applicable product distinctions in the tariff, such as the specific vegetable, root, tuber, fruit, or nut. Also check whether processing, mixtures, additives, or retail presentation affect classification. The product’s formulation and condition at import—not just its marketing name—are important.
What to check
- Identify the exact plant source and confirm whether it belongs to heading 0713, 0714, or Chapter 8.
- Review the 8-digit provisions under heading 1106 for distinctions based on the specific material or product type.
- Check the ingredient list, manufacturing process, and product specifications for mixtures, additives, or treatment that may affect classification.
- Compare the product’s physical form at import with the heading language: flour, meal, or powder.
- Verify the current HTSUS text and applicable classification notes; ask a customs broker or seek a binding ruling if the formulation is unusual or ambiguous.

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.
