1106.30 Flour, meal and powder; of the products of chapter 8
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section II, Vegetable Products — plants, vegetables, fruit, nuts, coffee, tea, cereals, seeds and flours.
- 11 Chapter Products of the milling industry; malt, starches, inulin, wheat gluten
- 06 Heading Flour, meal and powder; of the dried leguminous vegetables of heading no. 0713, of sago or of roots or tubers of heading no. 0714 or of the products of chapter 8
- 30 Subheading Flour, meal and powder; of the products of chapter 8
Chapter 11 covers products of the milling industry: wheat and other cereal flours, groats, meal, pellets, malt, starches, inulin and wheat gluten. It sits between raw grain (chapter 10) and finished baked or pasta products (chapter 19) in the processing chain. Classification tip: Starch classification depends on the plant source (maize, potato, wheat, cassava), and each source usually maps to its own subheading rather than one generic 'starch' code.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

1106.30 covers flour, meal and powder; of the products of chapter 8. It sits under heading 11.06 (flour, meal and powder; of the dried leguminous vegetables of heading no. 0713, of sago or of roots or tubers of heading no. 0714 or of the products of chapter 8) in chapter 11, Section II of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 1106.30 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section II and to chapter 11. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
