Cereal grains otherwise worked (e.g. hulled, rolled, flaked, pearled, sliced or kibbled) except rice of heading no. 1006; germ of cereals whole, rolled, flaked or ground
In plain English
This category includes cereal grains that have been processed through methods such as hulling, rolling, flaking, pearling, slicing, or kibbling, while specifically excluding rice. It also covers cereal germ that is whole, rolled, flaked, or ground. The classification separates these items by the type of grain and the specific processing method applied. Oats and maize have distinct categories for both processed grains and germ, while other cereals are grouped together based on whether they are rolled, flaked, or subjected to other working methods.
