If higher DE values over 10%, used as glucose syrup
Chapter 35 note excludes products with >10% reducing sugar from heading 3505.
If further chemically hardened or modified into plasticized form
Hardened proteins or alginates shift to Chapter 39 as modified natural polymers.
If sold as flavored powder for direct consumer beverage mixing
Retail-ready flavored preparations are food products under 2106, not pure dextrins.
