Last updated: April 2026 dataVariety and organic certification drive the unusually granular US tariff structure for fresh table and processing potatoes, with distinct 10-digit lines for Russet/Netted Gem (0701905017, 0701905046), Red Skin (0701905021, 0701905056), White (0701905037, 0701905066), Yellow/Solano (0701901010, 0701901060), and certified organic variants across shipment-weight thresholds. Canada and Mexico are the dominant suppliers, together accounting for the bulk of year-round volume, while Colombia, Peru, and the Netherlands serve more specialized or seasonal roles. All fresh potato imports require USDA APHIS phytosanitary clearance, and misclassification between variety-specific lines can affect applicable duty rates. Importers should verify both the potato variety and organic certification status before filing entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Congress and USDA have established variety-specific and organic-specific tariff lines to allow differentiated duty treatment and trade monitoring. Classification depends on the potato variety (e.g., Russet/Netted Gem, Red Skin, White, Yellow/Solano), whether the shipment is certified organic, and the net weight of the shipment (below or above 1,200 kg). Shippers must document variety and certification accurately to land in the correct line.
The weight threshold creates separate tariff lines that can carry different duty rates, not merely different statistical breakouts. Importers should confirm the applicable rate for each line with a licensed customs broker, as the distinction between sub-1,200 kg and larger shipments may have a material cost impact depending on the variety and origin.
