Crosslinked Potato Starch from Germany
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.

Import Tips
• Ensure the starch is chemically modified and not just physically processed, as physical modifications may fall under other tariff items
• Keep documentation of the chemical treatment process to support classification
• Verify the starch is not used in food preparations that could shift classification to Chapter 21
