Last updated: August 2026 dataYautia (Xanthosoma spp.) is a starchy tropical root vegetable widely consumed in Latin American and Caribbean communities, and its US import schedule distinguishes fresh or chilled (0714501000), frozen (0714502000), and dried non-pellet forms (0714506000). Mexico leads supply, followed by Costa Rica and Nicaragua, reflecting the crop's concentration in Central American and Caribbean growing regions. Seasonal availability and cold-chain requirements differ sharply between the fresh/chilled and frozen categories, making state-of-preservation a key classification and logistics variable. FDA oversight applies at entry, and importers should verify that shipments meet applicable produce safety standards.

The schedule separates fresh or chilled yautia (0714501000) from frozen yautia (0714502000) and dried yautia excluding pellets (0714506000). The state of preservation at time of entry determines the applicable subheading, so importers must document temperature and processing conditions accurately in entry paperwork.
Yautia is subject to FDA admissibility review as a fresh or processed produce item. Shipments must comply with applicable produce safety regulations, and importers should work with a licensed customs broker to confirm correct subheading classification based on the product's condition at entry. Classification as fresh, frozen, or dried affects both duty treatment and labeling requirements.
