1105.10.00.00 - Flour, meal and powder 🖩

This HTS classification, 1105.10.00.00, specifically covers flour, meal, and powder derived from potatoes. This includes products that have undergone milling or grinding processes to achieve a fine, powdery texture. Examples within this category could range from standard potato flour used in baking and cooking to finer potato starches utilized in various industrial applications where a starchy component is required. The key characteristic is the processed form of the potato into a particulate substance.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 1105.20.00.00, which covers flakes, granules, and pellets of potatoes. While both originate from potatoes and undergo processing, the physical form is the primary differentiating factor. Flour, meal, and powder are characterized by their fine, particulate nature, whereas flakes are thin, flattened pieces, and granules and pellets are larger, agglomerated particles. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declaration, as the processing method and resulting physical form influence product identity and potential uses.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions within 1105.10.00.00 will rely on the precise description of the goods as flour, meal, or powder derived from potatoes. The intended use or the specific milling fineness generally does not create further distinctions within this particular subheading, so adherence to the physical description is paramount.
