HS Code for Pea flour

Pea flour is classified under HS code 110610 because it is a product of the milling industry derived from dried leguminous vegetables. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and the Chapter 11 notes, this heading specifically covers flour, meal, and powder made from the dried legumes of heading 0713. The classification depends on the physical state of the product; it must be milled to a specific fineness to qualify as flour rather than simply crushed or broken peas. This code is used globally to identify pea-based milling products that have not been further prepared or mixed with other ingredients beyond basic milling processes.

Products Included

• Yellow pea flour
• Green pea flour
• Fine pea meal
• Powdered dried peas
• Organic pea flour

Common Misclassification

Pea flour is frequently misclassified under HS code 071310, which covers dried peas in their whole or split form. The distinction lies in the degree of processing; once the peas are ground into a fine powder or meal, they must move to Chapter 11. Another common error is using HS code 1901, which is reserved for food preparations of flour. If the pea flour has been mixed with sugar, flavorings, or other additives for a specific culinary use, it may fall under 1901. Additionally, pea protein isolate is often confused with pea flour but should be classified under HS code 210610 as a protein concentrate.
