Last updated: April 2026 dataExtracted from wheat endosperm through wet-milling, wheat starch is valued in food manufacturing for its fine granule size and clean flavor profile, and in industrial applications for paper coating and adhesives. The US schedule subdivides the heading into food-use wheat starch (1108110010) and non-food/NESOI wheat starch (1108110090), a distinction that affects FDA oversight and, in some cases, duty treatment. Australia and Canada are the leading suppliers, with Germany and Belgium also contributing meaningful volumes. Food-grade shipments require FDA Prior Notice and must originate from registered facilities; industrial-grade imports face fewer admissibility hurdles but may still require documentation of intended end use.

Lines 1108110010 (food use) and 1108110090 (NESOI/non-food) reflect different regulatory pathways: food-use wheat starch is subject to FDA admissibility review, Prior Notice, and facility registration requirements, while non-food starch is not. Misclassifying a food-grade product as non-food — or vice versa — can trigger FDA holds or duty discrepancies. Importers should declare intended end use accurately and retain supporting documentation.
Wheat starch (1108.11) is the purified carbohydrate fraction separated from the protein (gluten) and bran during wet milling. Wheat flour (Chapter 11, heading 1101) retains all endosperm components. Wheat gluten (1109) is the protein fraction. If a product contains significant protein or is not further processed to isolate the starch, it may be classified differently. A licensed customs broker can help determine the correct heading based on composition data.
