Cereal grains, rolled or flaked, other than oats.
Classification of rolled rye under HS 1104.19
Rolled rye is classified under HS code 1104.19, which pertains to cereal grains that have been rolled or flaked, excluding oats. The classification is determined by the degree of processing the grain has undergone. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and the Chapter 11 notes of the Harmonized System, products of the milling industry fall under this category when they have been worked beyond the basic threshing or cleaning found in Chapter 10. Rolled rye is produced by steaming the rye kernels (Secale cereale) and passing them through heavy mechanical rollers to flatten them. This process partially gelatinizes the starches and increases the surface area, distinguishing it from whole rye. Because the Harmonized System provides a specific subheading for rolled oats (1104.12), all other rolled cereals, including rye, barley, and grain sorghum, are grouped into the 'other' category of 1104.19. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the product is intended for human consumption as a breakfast cereal or for industrial baking applications, provided it has not been further prepared by roasting or adding sugar.

Codes often confused with 1104.19
Common mistake. Rolled rye is frequently misclassified under HS code 1002.90, which is reserved for whole, unworked rye grains. The distinction lies in the mechanical rolling process; once the grain is flattened, it must move from Chapter 10 to Chapter 11. Another common error is using HS code 1102.90 for rye flour. Flour is defined by its ability to pass through a specific mesh sieve, whereas rolled rye retains its flake-like structure. Additionally, if the rye has been toasted or pre-cooked, it may be moved to HS code 1904.10 as a prepared cereal food.

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).
