Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 11 covers milling products — flours, groats, meal, starches, malt, inulin and wheat gluten. India exports wheat flour, maize starch, guar-derived products and rice flour to food processors across Asia and the Gulf. Subheadings separate the goods by the cereal or root of origin and by the degree of processing.
How to read this code
11 is the two-digit HS chapter for products of the milling industry. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many vegetable products lines — check our import guides for your market.
