Products from the milling of the cereals listed in the table below fall in this Chapter if they have, by weight on the dry product:

(a) a starch content (determined by the modified Ewers polarimetric method, exceeding that indicated in Column (2); and

(b) an ash content (after deduction of any added minerals) not exceeding that indicated in Column(3).

(B)

Products falling in this Chapter under the above provisions shall be classified in Heading No.11.01 or 11.02 if the percentage passing through a woven metal wire cloth sieve with the aperture indicated in Column (4) or (5) is not less, by weight than that shown against the cereal concerned.

Otherwise, they fall in heading No.11.03 or 11.04

For the purposes of heading No.11.03, the term "groats" and "meal" means products obtained by the fragmentation of cereal grains, of which:

1. in the case of maize (corn) products, at least 95% by weight passes through a woven metal wire cloth sieve with an aperture of 2mm;
   
   
2. in the case of other cereal products, at least 95% by weight passes through a woven metal wire cloth sieve with an aperture of 1.25mm
