Import Tips
• Be aware that 'starch' in the product name does not change classification, as the pellets remain whole taro products
• Keep the binder content below 3% to meet the definition of pellets
• If the starch is extracted, the product would fall under a different heading—ensure it is not processed beyond drying and pelletizing
