Starch; manioc (cassava)
Heading 1108 — Starches; inulin
Chapter 11: Products of milling industry
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110814 when importing or exporting starch derived from manioc (cassava). This includes products like cassava starch used in food processing, textiles, and paper manufacturing. For example, a shipment of cassava starch in 25 kg bags for a bakery would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers starches made from manioc, distinguishing it from other starches like those derived from corn or potatoes, which have their own classifications. If you're dealing with potato starch, you would look at HS-6 110813 instead.
In the broader context of chapter 11, which includes various milling products and starches, heading 1108 narrows it down to starches and inulin. This means that while all products in this chapter relate to milling, HS-6 110814 focuses solely on cassava starch.
When classifying your product, consider the end-use. Cassava starch can be used as a thickening agent in sauces or as a binding agent in gluten-free products, making it versatile for both food and non-food industries.
