Industrial Pea Starch from United States
Industrial pea starch is a yellow pea-derived starch used in paper sizing and adhesives. It is classified under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'other starches' because peas are not a cereal listed in Chapter 11, and the product meets the starch content requirements. The starch is verified by chemical analysis to ensure it is not a prepared food or pharmaceutical product.
