1106.20.10.00 - Of Chinese water chestnuts 🖩

This HTS category, 1106.20.10.00, specifically covers flour, meal, and powder derived from Chinese water chestnuts. These products are obtained by milling or processing the dried roots or tubers of the plant *Eleocharis dulcis*, commonly known as the Chinese water chestnut. The resultant material is typically fine-grained and intended for use as an ingredient in food preparation or other industrial applications.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 1106.20.90.00 ("Other"), which encompasses flours, meals, and powders of other roots and tubers of heading 0714 not specifically enumerated. Therefore, if the product is derived from Chinese water chestnuts, it falls under this specific sub-heading. If it originates from other roots or tubers listed in heading 0714 (such as cassava, sweet potatoes, or yams), it would be classified under the "Other" provision.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions within this specific code are determined by the precise origin of the processed product – in this case, exclusively Chinese water chestnuts. The focus for classification remains on verifying the botanical source of the flour, meal, or powder.
