About HS Code 110430

This HS code specifically covers cereal germ, which is the embryo of the cereal grain, separated during the milling process. Cereal germ, particularly wheat germ, is highly valued for its nutritional content, being rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. It is traded internationally by milling companies, health food manufacturers, and supplement producers. It is used as a dietary supplement, an ingredient in baked goods, breakfast cereals, and sometimes in animal feed. The trade in cereal germ is driven by consumer demand for nutrient-dense foods and the efficient utilization of milling byproducts, making it a valuable commodity in the health and food industries.
