Last updated: July 2026 dataShelf-stable potato preparations — including potato chips (2005200020), dehydrated potato granules (2005200040), and other preserved forms (2005200070) — fall under this subheading, which covers ambient-temperature products distinct from the frozen potato heading. Canada and Mexico are the primary suppliers, with Ireland a notable source reflecting its established crisp and snack manufacturing sector. Potato chips and snack products are subject to FDA food facility registration and FSMA foreign supplier verification, and importers should confirm that net-weight and ingredient declarations on packaging meet US labeling standards before shipment.

No. The US schedule separates potato chips (2005200020) from potato granules (2005200040) and from other potato preparations not elsewhere specified (2005200070). The physical form and processing method determine which line applies, so importers should confirm the product's specification against the tariff descriptions.
The key distinction is the state of preservation at the time of importation. Heading 200410 covers potato preparations that are frozen, while 200520 covers those preserved by other means — such as drying, canning, or oil-packing — and presented in a non-frozen state. A product that has been thawed prior to entry may face reclassification questions, so maintaining cold-chain integrity or clearly documenting the preservation method is important.
