Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen french fries account for the largest commercial volume under this heading, classified at 2004108020, but the schedule also covers yellow (Solano) potatoes (2004104000) and other frozen potato preparations across two additional NESOI lines. Canada is the dominant supplier, benefiting from USMCA's duty-free treatment and proximity to US distribution networks, with Belgium and the Netherlands contributing significant volumes of European-style frites. Importers should note that FDA FSMA requirements govern foreign supplier verification for all frozen vegetable preparations entering US commerce.

The US schedule provides a dedicated line (2004104000) for yellow potatoes of the Solano variety prepared or preserved and frozen, separate from french fries (2004108020) and other frozen potato preparations (2004108040 and 2004108060). Correct variety identification at entry is necessary to avoid misclassification.
While CBP does not mandate a specific cold-chain certificate, importers are expected to demonstrate that products arrived in a frozen state consistent with the declared classification. Temperature logs, bill of lading notations, and FDA FSVP records are commonly reviewed; any evidence of thawing may trigger additional FDA scrutiny or reclassification.
