U.S. imports of Prepared or Preserved Potatoes (Not Frozen, Not Vinegar/Acetic Acid) (SITC 05676) totaled $34.7M in August 2026, imported from 68 countries.
Importers of Prepared or Preserved Potatoes (Not Frozen, Not Vinegar/Acetic Acid) paid $699K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 2.01% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataShelf-stable potato preparations — including dehydrated flakes, granules, chips, and non-frozen canned potatoes — occupy this heading, distinct from frozen potato products classified elsewhere. The non-frozen requirement is a key classification boundary: products that have been thermally processed and packaged at ambient temperature belong here, while frozen french fries and similar items do not. FDA governs these as processed foods, and dehydrated potato products must meet applicable standards for moisture content and additives.

SITC 05676 covers only non-frozen prepared or preserved potatoes — such as dehydrated flakes, granules, crisps, and shelf-stable canned potatoes. Frozen prepared potatoes (including frozen french fries) are classified under a separate SITC heading for frozen vegetables, making the thermal state at time of export a critical classification determinant.
Potato chips and crisps that are prepared and preserved without vinegar or acetic acid and are not frozen generally fall within this heading. However, classification can depend on the specific preparation method, added ingredients, and packaging format. A licensed customs broker should confirm the correct HTS subheading, as duty rates and any applicable trade measures may vary by product type.
