Import Tips
• Verify starch origin (arrowroot, cassava, sago) via supplier certificates to confirm classification under 1903.00.20.00
• Include lab analysis for moisture content and purity to avoid reclassification as raw starch (1108)
• Label products clearly as 'tapioca pearls' or similar to distinguish from uncooked starch imports
