Hydroxypropyl Modified Tapioca Starch from Germany

Hydroxypropyl modified tapioca starch undergoes etherification to enhance freeze-thaw stability in frozen foods. As an etherified modified starch, it precisely fits tariff item 3505.10.19, which covers 'other' etherified or esterified starches.

Import Tips

• Provide evidence of the etherification process, such as hydroxypropyl group analysis

• Confirm the starch is not pregelatinized, which would be classified under 3505.10.20

• Ensure the product is not a food preparation of Chapter 21
