Quinoa Starch Powder from Japan
Quinoa starch powder is a premium starch from quinoa seeds, used for superfood applications. It is classified under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'other starches' because quinoa 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.
