Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110620 when importing or exporting flour, meal, or powder made from sago or roots and tubers. For example, if you're shipping sago flour for use in baking or cooking, this is the correct code to use.
This code specifically covers products derived from sago and certain roots or tubers, distinguishing it from HS-6 110630, which pertains to flour from dried leguminous vegetables. If your product is made from legumes, you'll need to use that different classification.
When classifying products under this code, consider how the flour or powder is packaged and its intended use. For instance, sago flour typically comes in 25 kg bags and is often used in Asian cuisines for making desserts and noodles.
It's important to note that while this code focuses on sago and roots, other related products like tapioca flour (classified under different codes) may not fit here. Always verify the source material to ensure accurate classification.
