U.S. imports of seed potatoes, fresh or chilled (HS 070110) totaled $9.0M in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Certified seed potatoes occupy a tightly regulated import category: USDA APHIS imposes strict phytosanitary requirements to prevent the introduction of potato cyst nematode, late blight, and other quarantine pests that could devastate domestic production. Canada is by far the dominant supplier, a pattern driven by geographic proximity, established seed certification programs, and USMCA trade facilitation. The US schedule splits the heading by container size — potatoes in containers of 45 kg net weight or less (0701100020) versus all other seed potatoes (0701100040) — a distinction relevant to retail seed-potato packaging versus bulk agricultural shipments. Importers must obtain APHIS import permits and ensure compliance with applicable state-level phytosanitary restrictions, which can vary significantly.

Importers must obtain a USDA APHIS import permit before shipment, and seed potatoes must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country. Individual US states may impose additional restrictions or require separate state permits, particularly to guard against potato cyst nematode and other regulated pests. Consulting APHIS and the destination state's department of agriculture before importing is strongly recommended.
The container-size distinction (0701100020 vs. 0701100040) reflects different commercial channels: small-container seed potatoes are typically destined for retail garden or small-farm use, while bulk shipments serve commercial agricultural operations. The split allows CBP to apply different statistical tracking and, where applicable, different duty treatment to these distinct market segments.
