HS v2022 Code: 110811

About starch; wheat

HS code 110811 covers wheat starch, a vital ingredient in a wide range of food and industrial products. Wheat starch is a key component in the production of baked goods, sauces, gravies, and other processed foods. It also has numerous industrial applications, including the manufacture of adhesives, textiles, and paper products. As a major agricultural commodity, the wheat starch industry plays a significant role in the global economy, supporting farmers, processors, and a diverse range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of wheat starch typically involves several key steps. First, wheat grains are cleaned and soaked in water to soften the kernels. The softened grains are then ground or milled to separate the starch from the other components of the wheat, such as protein and fiber. The starch is then washed and purified, often using centrifugation or filtration techniques, to remove any remaining impurities. Finally, the purified starch is dried and packaged for distribution to various end-users.

Production inputs

The primary input for the wheat starch industry is, of course, wheat grain. Producers require access to high-quality, consistent supplies of wheat to ensure a reliable and efficient production process. In addition to the raw material, the industry also relies on specialized machinery and equipment for milling, separation, and drying operations. Water is another crucial input, used extensively in the soaking and purification stages of production.

Production outputs

The main output of the wheat starch industry is, naturally, wheat starch itself. This versatile product is then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 190120 Mixes and doughs for the preparation of bakers' wares of heading 1905, 210320 Tomato ketchup and other tomato sauces, and 480810 Corrugated paper and paperboard, whether or not perforated. Wheat starch may also be further processed into modified starches or other derivative products to meet the specific needs of various end-users.
