HS code for Rolled barley: 1104.19
Cereal grains, rolled or flaked, other than oats.
Classification of rolled barley under HS 1104.19
Rolled barley is classified under HS code 1104.19. This code is situated within Chapter 11, which covers products of the milling industry, malt, starches, inulin, and wheat gluten. Heading 1104 specifically deals with cereal grains that have been worked in various ways, such as hulled, rolled, flaked, pearled, sliced, or kibbled. Subheading 1104.19 is designated for rolled or flaked cereal grains other than oats (which have their own specific code, 1104.12). The classification is determined by the mechanical process the barley has undergone. "Rolled" barley refers to grain that has been crushed or flattened between rollers, often after being steamed to soften the kernel. This process changes the physical state of the grain from its natural form (Chapter 10) to a processed milling product (Chapter 11). It is important to ensure the grain has not been further prepared, such as being roasted or cooked, as this would change the classification to Chapter 19. The moisture content and starch gelatinization levels are often checked by customs to confirm the degree of processing.

Codes often confused with 1104.19
Common mistake. Rolled barley is frequently misclassified under HS code 1003.90, which is for unprocessed barley grain. Once the grain is rolled or flaked, it must move to Chapter 11. Another common error is using 1104.12, which is strictly for oats. If the barley has been pearled (rounded), it should be classified under 1104.29. Finally, if the barley is part of a prepared breakfast cereal with added sugar or flavorings, it is classified under 1904.10.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
