Classification notes

Chapter 11 imports are subject to food-safety inspection in most destinations; some EU member states apply additional Novel-Food classification for non-traditional grains. Gluten-free / specialty flours from rice / corn / oats fall under 1102.

Frequent misclassification

Pasta and noodles (made from these flours) fall under Chapter 19 (preparations of cereals), not Chapter 11. Bakery mixes go to Chapter 19 too.
