Industrial Starch Glue Dextrin from China
Industrial starch glue dextrin is a pyrodextrin used as a base for water-based adhesives in packaging and woodworking. HTS 3505.10.00.20 covers it as 'other' dextrins, excluding glues explicitly based on starches which start at 3505.20 but fitting here for dextrin-specific types.
