Wheat gluten; whether or not dried
Chapter 11 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 in this chapter
Pasta and noodles (made from these flours) fall under Chapter 19 (preparations of cereals), not Chapter 11. Bakery mixes go to Chapter 19 too.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
