U.S. imports of starches, not elsewhere specified or included (HS 110819) totaled $5.2M in June 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Importers of Starches, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included paid $27K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 21% on $131K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Starches, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included imports of $5.2M in June 2026 ran 16% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.5M.
Starches not covered by the specific headings for wheat, corn, potato, or cassava — including rice starch, sago starch, and certain modified-starch intermediates — fall under this residual category, which the US schedule subdivides into non-food cereal starches (1108190010) and a general NESOI line (1108190090). Belgium and Canada lead US supply, with Thailand, Austria, and China also contributing, reflecting the diverse botanical and industrial origins of these specialty starches. Classification here requires ruling out each of the named starch headings first, making correct product identification critical. Food-use shipments remain subject to FDA Prior Notice and facility registration regardless of the specific starch source.

Rice starch, sago starch, arrowroot starch, and sweet potato starch are the most common commercially traded products that land in the NESOI heading because they are not specifically named in headings 1108.11–1108.14. Some modified starches may also fall here depending on the degree of modification. When in doubt, a binding ruling request to CBP can confirm the correct classification before importation.
The importer should obtain a specification sheet or botanical origin certificate from the supplier confirming the starch source (e.g., rice, sago) and retain it in the entry file. If the product is a blend or a modified starch, a composition analysis showing the base botanical source and processing steps supports the NESOI classification. CBP may request this documentation during a CF-28 inquiry or audit.
