Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh and chilled white and yellow potatoes — table, seed, and processing varieties alike — enter the US under USDA APHIS phytosanitary controls, with admissibility conditions that vary significantly by country of origin and potato type. Seed potatoes face especially stringent quarantine requirements, including certification of freedom from specific pests such as potato cyst nematode and ring rot. The commercial fresh-potato trade is highly seasonal and regionally concentrated, with cold-chain logistics and shelf-life constraints shaping import windows. Importers should confirm that phytosanitary certificates from the exporting country's national plant protection organization meet current APHIS import conditions before shipment.

Fresh potatoes generally require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country's national plant protection organization, attesting freedom from regulated pests. Depending on origin and potato type, APHIS may also require additional declarations, pre-clearance inspections, or compliance with a specific systems approach. Importers should consult current APHIS import conditions for the specific origin before contracting shipments.
Both table and seed potatoes fall within this heading when fresh or chilled, but seed potatoes are subject to far more restrictive APHIS quarantine conditions and may require specific certification of variety and pest status. Misrepresenting seed potatoes as table stock — or vice versa — can trigger admissibility holds and potential penalties.
