Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110813 when importing or exporting potato starch, which is commonly used in food processing and as a thickening agent. For example, a shipment of 500 kg of potato starch packed in 25 kg bags would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers starch derived from potatoes, distinguishing it from other starches like corn or wheat starch, which are classified under different HS codes. If you're dealing with corn starch, you would look at HS-6 110814 instead.
Potato starch is often used in the food industry for products like sauces, soups, and baked goods. It can also be found in non-food applications such as textiles and adhesives, making it versatile across various sectors.
When classifying potato starch, consider the packaging and end-use. For instance, if the starch is modified or contains additives, it may require a different classification. Always check for specific national regulations that may apply.
