GENERAL
This Chapter includes :
(1) Products from the milling of the cereals of CHAPTER 10 and of sweet corn of Chapter 7 other than milling residues of heading 23.02. In this context the products from the milling of wheat rye barley oats maize (corn) (including whole cobs ground with or without their husks) grain sorghum rice and buckwheat falling in this Chapter are to be distinguished from the residues of heading 23.02 in accordance with the criteria as to starch and ash content laid down in Chapter Note 2 (A).
Within the Chapter as regards the cereals mentioned by name above the flours of heading 11.01 or 11.02 are to be distinguished from the products of heading 11.03 or 11.04 in accordance with the criterion as to passage through a sieve laid down in Chapter Note 2 (B). At the same time all cereal groats and meal of heading 11.03 must fulfil the relevant criterion as to passage through a sieve laid down in Chapter Note 3.
(2) Products also obtained from the cereals of CHAPTER 10 by submitting them to the processes provided for in the various headings of the Chapter such as malting or the extraction of starch or wheat gluten.
(3) Products obtained by submitting raw materials of other Chapters (dried leguminous vegetables potatoes fruit etc.) to processes similar to those indicated in paragraph (1) or (2) above.
This Chapter excludes inter alia :
(a) Roasted malt put up as coffee substitutes (heading 09.01 or 21.01).
(b) Cereal husks (heading 12.13).
(c) Prepared flours meals and starches of heading 19.01.
(d) Tapioca (heading 19.03).
(e) Puffed rice corn flakes and the like obtained by swelling or roasting and bulgur wheat in the form of worked grains (heading 19.04).
(f) Vegetables prepared or preserved of headings 20.01 20.04 and 20.05.
(g) Residues derived from the sifting milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants (heading 23.02).
(h) Pharmaceutical products (CHAPTER 30).
(ij)Products of CHAPTER 33 (see Notes 3 and 4 to CHAPTER 33).
