1108.11.00.90 - Other

This HTS classification covers wheat starch that is not specifically intended for food use. Wheat starch, derived from the endosperm of wheat grains through processes like wet milling, is a primary component used in various industrial applications. This category encompasses wheat starch where its ultimate purpose is not for direct human or animal consumption as a food ingredient.

It is crucial to distinguish this subcategory from its sibling, 1108.11.00.10, which specifically designates wheat starch intended for food use. While both are wheat starch, the key differentiator lies in their intended end application. Shipments classified under this heading are not for incorporation into foodstuffs, bakery products, or other food items.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1108.11.00.90 will rely on the explicit exclusion of food use. Examples of products that might fall here include wheat starch used in papermaking, textile finishing, adhesives, or as a binder in non-food industrial formulations. The classification is based on the absence of characteristics or documentation indicating its suitability or primary intended use in the food sector.
