Starches; inulin
In plain English
This section covers starches and inulin derived from the milling industry. The goods are categorized by their source material, including wheat, maize, potato, and manioc. Any starch not specifically listed under those four sources falls into a remaining category. Inulin is also included as a distinct item within this group.
6-digit subheadings (6)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Chapter 11 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Pasta and noodles (made from these flours) fall under Chapter 19 (preparations of cereals), not Chapter 11. Bakery mixes go to Chapter 19 too.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
