Buckwheat Starch for Industrial Thickening from Germany
Buckwheat starch derived from buckwheat grains, processed for use as a non-food thickening agent in paints and coatings. It meets the starch content and ash specifications of Chapter 11, and is not a prepared food product, so it falls under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'Other starches'.
