1106.30.20.00 - Banana and plantain

This HTS category, 1106.30.20.00, specifically covers flour, meal, and powder derived from dried bananas and plantains. These products are produced through the milling of the dried fruit. The application of this classification is limited to instances where the primary ingredient is either banana or plantain, processed into a finely ground form.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1106.30.40.00 (Other), is crucial. While 1106.30.40.00 encompasses flours, meals, and powders of other Chapter 8 products not specifically enumerated, this particular sub-heading is exclusively for those derived from bananas and plantains. Therefore, any product made from dried fruits of Chapter 8 other than bananas or plantains would fall under the "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level are final and rely on accurately identifying the product as flour, meal, or powder of dried bananas or plantains, differentiating it from other processed fruits under Chapter 8.
