Pregelatinized Corn Starch from Japan
Pregelatinized corn starch is produced by cooking corn starch and then drying it, resulting in a product that thickens instantly in cold water. This physical modification places it under tariff item 3505.10.20 as a pregelatinized starch. It is used in instant foods, soups, and sauces.

Import Tips
• Ensure the starch is pregelatinized and not a native starch; the cooking and drying process must be documented
• If the product is used in food, confirm it meets food-grade standards
• Declare the physical modification to the CBSA to avoid classification as native starch
