Import Tips

• Confirm the pearls are not simply modified starch of heading 11.08, but are formed into a distinct shape

• Keep records of the manufacturing process to show the starch is agglomerated into pearls

• Verify whether the product is for food or industrial use, as end-use may affect classification
