Rice Starch Flakes Substitute from Mexico

Rice starch flakes are thin, flat pieces made from rice starch, serving as a tapioca substitute in Asian desserts like puddings. They fall under 1903.00.00 because they are prepared from starch in flake form, going beyond the simple starches of Chapter 11.

Import Tips

• Ensure the flakes are not simply rice flour, which would fall under heading 1102 or 1104

• Provide a detailed process description showing the starch is extracted and formed into flakes

• Be aware that goods with added cocoa over 6% may shift to heading 18.06
