Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 3505.10.90
Cold-Water Soluble Potato Dextrin for Instant Foods
Cold-water soluble potato dextrin is a hydrolyzed dextrin from potato starch designed for cold-water solubility in instant soups and beverages. With low reducing sugars, it qualifies under tariff item 3505.10.90 as a dextrin, providing thickening without heat.
Crosslinked Potato Starch
Crosslinked potato starch is a chemically modified starch where cross-linking agents create bridges between starch molecules, enhancing resistance to heat, shear, and acidic conditions. This chemical modification places it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' modified starches, distinct from unmodified starches.
Cross-Linked Potato Starch for Drilling Fluids
Cross-linked potato starch for drilling fluids is chemically modified to provide high temperature stability in oilfield drilling muds. This chemical modification places it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' modified starches, specifically for industrial applications.
Cyclodextrin Beta
Beta-cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide produced by enzymatic conversion of starch, functioning as a specialized dextrin. Its unique ring structure and low reducing sugar content qualify it as a dextrin under tariff item 3505.10.90, despite its enzymatic production method.
Dextrin Powder for Paper Sizing
Dextrin powder for paper sizing is produced by roasting starch to create a degradation product with a reducing sugar content not exceeding 10%. This dextrin provides adhesion and surface strength in paper manufacturing, qualifying under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' dextrins.
Esterified Potato Starch for Textile Sizing
Esterified potato starch for textile sizing is chemically modified through esterification to provide abrasion resistance in yarn sizing. This chemical modification qualifies it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' esterified starches, distinct from enzymatic preparations.
Esterified Wheat Starch
Esterified wheat starch undergoes chemical modification through esterification to improve stability and texture in processed foods. This chemical modification places it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' modified starches, specifically esterified starches not otherwise specified.
Hydroxypropylated Potato Starch for Cleaners
Hydroxypropylated potato starch for cleaners is an etherified starch used as a soil suspender in powdered laundry detergents. As an etherified modified starch, it falls under tariff item 3505.10.90, and is not excluded as an enzymatic washing preparation.
Hydroxypropyl Modified Tapioca Starch
Hydroxypropyl tapioca starch undergoes etherification to enhance freeze-thaw stability in frozen foods. As an etherified modified starch, it precisely fits tariff item 3505.10.90, which covers 'other' etherified or esterified starches not elsewhere specified.
Instantized Pregel Starch for Sports Drinks
Instantized pregelatinized starch dissolves rapidly in sports drink powders due to physical modification through cooking and drying. This physical modification places it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as a modified starch, though it may also be considered under the pregelatinized sibling item depending on the specific processing.
Instant Potato Starch Thickener for Sauces
Instant potato starch thickener for sauces is a cold-soluble pregelatinized dextrin from potatoes for ready sauces. It provides smooth texture without cooking, and falls under tariff item 3505.10.90 as a modified starch, though it may be classified under the pregelatinized sibling item if specifically pregelatinized.
Maltodextrin DE 10
Maltodextrin DE 10 is a dextrin derived from hydrolyzed corn starch with a dextrose equivalent of 10, used as a bulking agent in dry mixes and confectionery. With a reducing sugar content at the threshold, it falls under tariff item 3505.10.90 as a dextrin, provided the content does not exceed 10%.
Octenyl Succinic Anhydride (OSA) Modified Starch
OSA-modified starch is esterified with octenyl succinic anhydride to provide emulsifying properties in beverages and dressings. This surface modification qualifies it under tariff item 3505.10.90 as an esterified starch, specifically 'other' esterified starches not elsewhere specified.
Pregelatinized Corn Starch
Pregelatinized corn starch is a modified starch that has been cooked and dried to allow instant thickening when mixed with cold water. While it is a modified starch, it may be classified under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' if not specifically pregelatinized, though the sibling item 3505.10.20 specifically covers pregelatinized starch.
Pregelatinized Rice Starch
Pregelatinized rice starch allows cold-water dispersion for baby foods and pharmaceuticals. As a physically modified starch, it falls under tariff item 3505.10.90 as 'other' modified starches, unless specifically classified as pregelatinized under the sibling item.
