Products classified under HTS 1108.11.00.90
Wheat Starch Powder for Baking
Pure wheat starch powder extracted from wheat grains, meeting starch content over 80% and low ash per Chapter 11 notes, used as a thickener in bakery products. Classified under 1108.11.00.90 as wheat starch not specifically for industrial uses like paper or textiles. It qualifies due to high starch purity and sieve passage standards distinguishing it from flours or meals.
Native Wheat Starch for Food Thickening
Unmodified wheat starch granules used in sauces and gravies for thickening, compliant with HTS 1108.11.00.90 as 'other' wheat starch. High purity (starch >80%, ash <2.5%) and fine particle size per chapter sieve tests exclude it from flour or groat categories. Ideal for gluten-free food applications.
Wheat Starch for Gluten-Free Baking Mixes
Fine wheat starch used in gluten-free bread and cake mixes, classified in 1108.11.00.90 for non-industrial wheat starch. Meets chapter criteria with high starch content and low ash, differentiated from wheat flour by processing and purity. Essential for replacing gluten in specialty foods.
Industrial Wheat Starch for Paper Sizing
Wheat starch slurry base for paper coating and sizing in manufacturing, under 1108.11.00.90 as unspecified 'other' wheat starch. Qualifies via Chapter 11 notes on starch >80% and sieve compliance, not fitting excluded pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses. Used to improve paper strength and printability.
Wheat Starch for Textile Finishing
Native wheat starch for warp sizing in textile weaving, captured by HTS 1108.11.00.90 'other' category. High starch purity per polarimetric method and low ash ensure Chapter 11 placement, excluding prepared flours. Enhances yarn strength during production.
Food-Grade Wheat Starch Granules
Granular wheat starch for confectionery dusting and stabilization, under 1108.11.00.90. Conforms to chapter starch/ash limits and not prepared as in 1901 exclusions. Maintains native structure for clean-label foods.
Wheat Starch for Adhesive Production
Pre-gelatinized wheat starch base for wood glues, HTS 1108.11.00.90 'other'. Pure form before mixing meets milling product criteria in notes. Provides viscosity in PVA adhesives.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Wheat Starch
Highly pure wheat starch for tablet binders, under 1108.11.00.90 but borderline with exclusions. Meets base starch specs before pharma processing. Used as excipient in pills.
