Last updated: April 2026 dataProduced by thermally or chemically treating native starches — corn, potato, tapioca, and wheat being the most common feedstocks — dextrins and modified starches are functional ingredients that improve viscosity, adhesion, film formation, and moisture retention across food processing, papermaking, textile sizing, and adhesive manufacturing. The specific modification method (oxidation, esterification, etherification, cross-linking, or pyrolysis) determines both the functional profile and the applicable tariff treatment, making process documentation a critical part of the import file. Suppliers in Asia and Europe are prominent sources, and some lines may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders depending on origin and product type.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
All chemically or thermally modified starches — including oxidized, cross-linked, esterified, etherified, and pyrodextrin forms — fall within this heading provided they have not been further formulated into a finished adhesive or food preparation. The modification method itself does not subdivide the SITC heading, but it is highly relevant at the HTS 10-digit level for duty and trade-remedy purposes.
Certain modified starch products, particularly those originating from specific countries, have been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty investigations. Importers should check the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department's active order lists against the specific product description and country of origin before finalizing sourcing decisions.
