Last updated: August 2026 dataDehydrated potato products in flake, granule, and pellet form are high-volume food-industry inputs used in instant mashed potato products, snack food manufacturing, and food-service applications. Germany leads US imports under this heading, followed by Canada and the Netherlands — a supplier profile reflecting Europe's advanced potato-processing industry and proximity to major dehydration facilities. All three forms enter under a single US tariff line (1105200000), and moisture content, bulk density, and reconstitution characteristics are the primary quality specifications driving commercial contracts. FDA prior notice and food facility registration requirements apply to all imported dehydrated potato products.

Potato flakes are thin, dried sheets produced by drum-drying cooked mashed potato; they reconstitute quickly and are used in instant mashed potato products. Granules are produced by a different drying process yielding a more granular texture with lower free-starch content, preferred for some industrial applications. Pellets are compressed, partially gelatinized forms used as snack food intermediates that are expanded by frying or baking. All three forms classify under 1105200000 regardless of their processing method.
Dehydrated potato products derived from bioengineered potato varieties may be subject to USDA's National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard when sold for human consumption in the US. Importers and distributors should confirm the variety and origin of the potatoes used in processing and ensure that labeling meets disclosure requirements if the product contains a listed bioengineered ingredient.
