Instant Tapioca Starch Granules from Germany
Instant tapioca starch granules are pre-gelatinized cassava starch that dissolves quickly in cold water for instant puddings and sauces. The product retains pure starch composition without additives, and pre-gelatinization is a physical process that does not change its classification as manioc starch under heading 11.08.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pre-gelatinization process is purely physical and does not involve chemical modification, as chemically modified starches may fall under heading 35.05
• Provide technical specifications to CBSA showing the product is unmodified cassava starch
• Check if the granules are packaged for retail sale, which may affect duty calculation
