Flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes

HS v2017 Code: 1105

About flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes

HS code 1105 covers a range of potato-based products, including flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules, and pellets. These versatile items are widely used in the food industry, both for direct human consumption and as ingredients in various processed foods. The potato processing sector plays a crucial role in the global agricultural economy, providing a valuable source of carbohydrates, nutrients, and starch for consumers and manufacturers worldwide.

Production process

The production of 1105 products typically involves several key steps. First, potatoes are washed, peeled, and cut into smaller pieces. The potato pieces are then dried, either through a mechanical process or by natural air drying. The dried potato material is then milled or ground into the desired form, such as flour, meal, or flakes. Depending on the final product, additional processing steps may be involved, such as sieving, granulation, or pelletization.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 1105 products are potatoes, which serve as the primary raw material. In addition, specialized machinery, such as drying equipment, milling machines, and packaging systems, are essential for the efficient processing and preparation of these potato-based goods. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the various production stages.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 1105 industry include a wide range of potato-based products, such as potato flour, potato meal, potato powder, potato flakes, potato granules, and potato pellets. These items find applications in various food manufacturing processes, including the production of 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included; food preparations of goods of headings 0401 to 0404, not containing cocoa or containing less than 5% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included, 1902 (Pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed (with meat or other substances) or otherwise prepared, such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagne, gnocchi, ravioli, cannelloni; couscous, whether or not prepared), and 1904 (Prepared foods obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products (for example, corn flakes); cereals (other than maize (corn)) in grain form or in the form of flakes or other worked grains (except flour, groats and meal), pre-cooked or otherwise prepared, not elsewhere specified or included).
