Frequently asked questions

Native vs modified tapioca starch?

Native starch is unmodified (HS 1108.14). Modified starches (acetylated, oxidised, cross-linked) fall under HS 3505.10 with different duty. Native tapioca is preferred in gluten-free bakery and boba/bubble tea; modified starch dominates industrial and processed food (sauces, meat products, textiles).
