Last updated: April 2026 dataSweet potatoes enter the US under two 10-digit lines: frozen (including sliced or pelleted) under 0714201000, and fresh or dried (including sliced or pelleted) under 0714202000. China is the leading supplier under this heading, with the Dominican Republic and Peru also significant sources. FDA admissibility review applies to food-use shipments, and fresh sweet potato imports are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection — a step that can affect port-of-entry selection and transit timing for perishable loads.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. The US tariff lines under 071420 do not separate whole from sliced or pelleted forms — both are captured within the same lines (0714201000 for frozen; 0714202000 for fresh or dried). The critical classification variable is the thermal state of the product, not the physical form.
Fresh sweet potato imports are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection, and specific conditions — including treatment requirements or port-of-entry restrictions — may apply depending on the country of origin. Importers sourcing from China should confirm current APHIS import conditions well in advance of shipment, as requirements can change and non-compliant shipments may be refused entry or require costly remediation.
