Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110811 when importing or exporting wheat starch, a key ingredient in food products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. For example, a shipment of 1,000 kg of wheat starch for use in a bakery would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers starch derived from wheat, distinguishing it from other starches like corn or potato starch, which are classified under different HS codes. If you're dealing with starch from other sources, you'll need to look at HS-6 110812 for corn starch instead.
Wheat starch is often used as a thickening agent in sauces and soups, or as a binding agent in processed foods. Understanding the nuances between wheat starch and other starches can help ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
When shipping wheat starch, consider how it's packaged—typically in bags or bulk containers—and its intended use, as these factors can influence the classification and any applicable duties.
