What to look for when sourcing native corn starch
Product specification
Native corn starch is a fine powder with specific functional properties. Define the intended use to set the right parameters for your quote.
Type & grade
Specify the starch type, such as native or modified, and the grade, including food or industrial, and any needed mesh size.
Functional properties
Agree on acceptable moisture, pH, viscosity, and protein content. These affect performance in food or industrial applications.
Packaging
Confirm the packaging format, such as multi-wall paper bags or bulk bags, and the unit weight. This influences handling and shelf life.
Quality acceptance
Quality is judged by the starch's physical and functional characteristics, not just appearance. Agree on how the product will be tested and what limits apply.
Lab testing
Agree on standard tests for moisture, ash, pH, viscosity, and particle size. Use a recognized method like ISO or AACC for consistency.
Visual assessment
Check for uniform color, absence of lumps, and no off-odors. The powder should flow freely and have no visible impurities.
Acceptance & claims
Set the quality limits for each test and define how results relate to the shipment. Keep a sealed sample from the delivered lot for dispute resolution.
Origin requirements
Origin can affect starch traits like color and pasting behavior, but consistency matters more than the country name.
Country of origin
State the preferred origin and ask for the specific country or region in the offer. Some buyers require a single origin, while others accept a blend.
Traceability
Request the lot number, production date, and details on the maize source. This is useful for recall and customer audits.
Acceptable alternatives
Define which origins you can substitute if the preferred one is unavailable or price changes. This helps secure supply.
Commercial terms
Native corn starch is typically quoted per metric ton on a specific delivery basis. Clarify what the price includes to avoid unexpected costs.
- Price & unit
- Confirm the price per metric ton and whether it includes packaging, loading, and freight. State the currency and any price adjustment clauses.
- Delivery terms
- Agree on Incoterms like FOB, CIF, or DAP, and the named port or warehouse. Align on who pays for inland freight, insurance, and customs.
- Payment terms
- Specify the payment method, such as letter of credit or bank transfer, and the schedule. Typical terms include advance payment or payment against documents.
Documentation & compliance
Starch shipments require documents that match the product and destination. Confirm these before shipping, not after.
- Commercial documents
- Align the invoice, packing list, and bill of lading on product name, grade, quantity, and lot number. Ensure all entities match the contract.
- Certificates & analyses
- Request a certificate of analysis from the manufacturer and any required health or plant-based certificates. Check if the destination requires specific documentation.
- Destination rules
- For food imports, confirm labeling and allergen requirements. For industrial use, check if the starch needs to meet specific purity or traceability standards.
Supplier capability
A mill, trader, and distributor each offer different strengths. Understand who is accountable for the product from production to delivery.
Production & control
Ask if the supplier owns the wet mill or sources from a contracted mill. Confirm how they maintain consistent viscosity, moisture, and purity.
Volume & supply
Check the minimum order quantity and the supplier's ability to meet peak demand. Ask about their capacity and backup plans for supply disruptions.
Logistics & service
Confirm how they handle packaging, loading, and delivery. For export, verify their experience with export documentation and freight arrangements.
