Last updated: April 2026 dataDerived from tropical starch-bearing plants of heading 0714 — including cassava (tapioca), arrowroot, and sago — the flours and meals in this heading serve as gluten-free thickeners, binders, and base ingredients across food manufacturing and specialty culinary applications. The US schedule includes a dedicated line for Chinese water chestnut flour (1106201000) alongside a broader residual line (1106209000), reflecting the commercial significance of that specific product. Brazil and Thailand are the leading suppliers, consistent with their roles as major cassava and tapioca processing hubs. FDA prior notice and FSMA supplier verification requirements apply; importers should confirm that the source plant is correctly identified, as cassava flour and tapioca starch are classified differently.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Cassava flour (whole-root milled product retaining fiber and protein) falls under heading 1106, specifically 1106209000, while tapioca starch (a refined starch extracted from cassava) is classified under heading 1108 as a starch product. The degree of refinement and the retention of non-starch components are the key distinguishing factors. Lab analysis of fiber and protein content is often used to resolve disputes.
Chinese water chestnut flour (1106201000) has a distinct commercial identity and trade history that warranted its own statistical tracking line within the broader sago/roots/tubers heading. This allows US trade authorities to monitor import volumes of this specific product separately from other root and tuber flours. Importers of water chestnut flour should use this specific line rather than the residual 1106209000 to avoid classification errors.
