Amaranth Starch from United States
Amaranth starch is a gluten-free starch from amaranth pseudo-cereal grains, used in health foods. It is classified under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'other starches' because amaranth is not a cereal listed in Chapter 11, and the product meets the starch content requirements. It is not a prepared food, so it is not excluded by Chapter 11 notes.
