1108.13.00.10 - For human consumption

This HTS classification, 1108.13.00.10, specifically covers potato starch intended for human consumption. Potato starch is derived from potatoes and is characterized by its fine, white, powdery texture and its specific gelling and thickening properties, which distinguish it from starches derived from other sources.

While the sibling category 1108.13.00.90 encompasses "Other" potato starches, the distinguishing criterion for 1108.13.00.10 is its end-use. This means that potato starch classified under this subheading must be suitable and intended for direct incorporation into food products for human ingestion. This can include its use as a thickener, binder, or texturizer in a wide array of food items.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for potato starch intended for human consumption. The classification terminates at this specific designation, ensuring clear identification and tariff treatment for this particular type of potato starch.
