Prepared or Preserved Potatoes (Not Frozen, Not Vinegar-Preserved)

Shelf-stable potato products that are neither frozen nor acidified — including potato chips (2005200020), dehydrated granules (2005200040), and other prepared forms (2005200070) — serve distinct market segments from snack food retail to industrial food manufacturing. Canada and Mexico are the top two suppliers, with Ireland a notable source reflecting its established potato processing industry. Potato granules and flakes used as food-manufacturing inputs may be subject to different duty treatment than retail chip products, making precise product-form identification important at classification. FDA review applies at entry for these processed food products.
