Carob Flour from Japan
Carob flour is milled from dried carob pods and ground to a fine powder, used as a gluten-free baking ingredient or thickener. It qualifies under tariff item 1212.92.00 as locust beans, whether or not ground, since it is a vegetable product for human consumption and not refined into a gum or extract.
