Tapioca Starch Granules from China
Tapioca starch granules are starch extracted from cassava root, appearing as fine white granules for gluten-free baking. They are classified under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'other starches' because cassava is not a cereal, and the product meets the starch content requirements. The granules are not a prepared food, so they are not excluded by Chapter 11 notes.
