Last updated: April 2026 dataReconstitutable dehydrated potato products in flake, granule, and pellet form — classified under a single US tariff line (1105200000) — are widely used in instant mashed potato products, snack food manufacturing, and food service applications where rapid rehydration is a key functional requirement. Germany leads US imports under this heading, reflecting the strength of European potato processing industries, with Canada and the Netherlands also among the top suppliers. As a processed food product, these items are subject to FDA admissibility review and FSMA foreign supplier verification; importers should confirm that product specifications clearly distinguish flakes and granules from finely milled potato flour, which is classified separately.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Germany has a well-developed potato processing industry with large-scale dehydration facilities that produce flakes and granules meeting food-grade specifications demanded by US food manufacturers. European producers have historically invested in the technology and quality controls required for consistent rehydration performance, giving them a competitive advantage in this segment.
Yes — heading 1105200000 explicitly covers flakes, granules, and pellets together under a single tariff line. However, if potato pellets have been further processed into a snack food or extruded product, they may shift classification into Chapter 19 or Chapter 21. The product's state at the time of import — whether it still requires cooking or rehydration — is the key classification factor.
