About HS Code 110422

This HS code covers oat grains that have undergone specific working processes other than rolling or flaking, such as hulling, pearling, slicing, or kibbling. The most prominent example is steel-cut oats, where the oat groats are cut into smaller pieces rather than flattened. These products are highly valued for their texture, slower cooking time, and distinct nutritional profile, making them popular in gourmet cooking, traditional oatmeal preparations, and specialty food markets. International trade involves processors specializing in these methods, catering to health-conscious consumers and food service industries seeking premium oat products. The unique processing method defines this category.
