Classification of kibbled wheat under HS 1104.29
Kibbled wheat is classified under HS code 1104.29. This classification is part of Chapter 11, which covers products of the milling industry, malt, starches, and inulin. Heading 1104 is dedicated to cereal grains that have been worked beyond simple cleaning or husking but have not yet been processed into flour or meal. The term \"kibbled\" refers to grain that has been coarsely broken or ground into smaller pieces, often for use in specialty breads or animal feed. Subheading 1104.29 is the specific category for \"other\" worked grains, excluding oats, maize, and rice. The classification requires that the wheat has undergone a specific mechanical process that changes its physical form from a whole grain to a fragmented state without reaching the fineness of flour (1101) or the specific consistency of groats (1103). To remain in Chapter 11, the product must meet specific starch and ash content requirements defined in the Chapter Notes. If the grain has been further processed, such as being pre-cooked or otherwise prepared, it may move to Chapter 19. Kibbled wheat is distinct because it retains the essential characteristics of the grain while being physically broken.

Codes often confused with 1104.29
Common mistake. Kibbled wheat is often misclassified as whole wheat under 1001.99, which is for unworked grains. It is also confused with wheat groats and meal under 1103.11 or wheat flour under 1101.00. If the wheat is pearled, it might be incorrectly placed in 1104.29 when it should be 1104.23 (if it were maize) or similar specific subheadings.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
