Water Chestnut Starch Flour from China
Water chestnut starch flour is a clear thickener from water caltrop, used in Asian dumplings and sauces. It is classified under tariff item 1108.19.90 as 'other starches' because water chestnut is not a cereal, and the product meets the starch content requirements. It is not a prepared food, so it is not excluded by Chapter 11 notes.
