Overview
This HTS category, 1108.19.00.90, encompasses "Other" starches that are not specifically categorized elsewhere within the "Starches" heading. This includes starches derived from sources other than cereals, such as tubers, roots, and certain other vegetable materials. The defining characteristic is their starch content, typically extracted and processed for various industrial, food, or pharmaceutical applications.
This category serves as a residual classification for starches. It is distinct from sibling categories such as 1108.19.00.10, which specifically covers cereal starches designated for non-food uses. Therefore, 1108.19.00.90 applies to starches from non-cereal sources, regardless of their end-use, or to cereal starches intended for food use.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 1108.19.00.90 will depend on the origin of the starch (e.g., potato, tapioca, arrowroot) and the absence of more specific tariff provisions. When classifying under this heading, it is crucial to confirm that the starch is not more appropriately classified under a more specific starch type or a different chapter altogether, based on its principal characteristic or use.
