Sorghum Starch for Bioethanol Fermentation from Mexico
Grain sorghum starch enzymatically converted in bioethanol production plants. This is a non-food application of a cereal starch, meeting the starch content and sieve passage requirements of Chapter 11, and is not a prepared food product, so it is classified under tariff item 1108.19.90.

Import Tips
• Document the industrial use to avoid classification as food-grade starch
• Keep sieve analysis records showing 90% passage through 500 μm for sorghum
• Verify whether the starch is modified or blended with enzymes, as that may change the tariff item
