This is the catch-all under 3809 10: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
Within the starch-based preparations in this parent group, this is where the products belong when their starch-product content is 70% or more but less than 83% by weight, rather than below 70% or at least 83% by weight.
Compare the sibling codes at this level before you settle on this one.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in San Marino; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); Ivory Coast; 43 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
