HS Code 0701Potatoes; fresh or chilled
2 six-digit codes · Heading 1 of 14 in Chapter 07 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 0701 is the customs heading for raw potatoes that have not been frozen, dried or cooked. Use this page to pick between seed and other potatoes, see which products fall outside, and find trade records.
Heading 0701 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Potatoes; fresh or chilled” classify either at 070110 or at 070190, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 1 of 14 in Chapter 07, Vegetables and certain roots and tubers; edible, which runs to 73 six-digit codes in all.
HS code 0701 subheadings: 070110 and 070190
Customs forms often write these codes with a dot. You may see 0701.10 and 0701.90 on an invoice, a bill or a product listing. They match 070110 and 070190 exactly. Only the punctuation changes.
Anyone searching for the potato HSN code or the potatoes HS code will end up at these same two lines. The heading has no other branches, so the choice is always one of the two below.
- 070110 (0701.10): seed potatoes, the kind planted to grow a new crop.
- 070190 (0701.90): all other potatoes, the kind sold to eat or to process.
Seed potatoes vs other potatoes: choosing the right code
Start with one question: what is the potato for? If it is sold as seed for planting, the code is 070110. If it is sold for any other purpose, the code is 070190.
Most potatoes in shops and kitchens go under 070190. Seed potatoes are a smaller, special group. Growers and traders often list them on their own, because buyers of seed have different needs from buyers of table potatoes.
Your paperwork should agree with the code you choose. If the invoice says seed potatoes, the code should be 070110. If it only says potatoes, check the intended use before you decide. A mismatch between words and code can cause delays at the border.
If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier. It helps you test a product description against the tariff before you file.
Potato products classified outside heading 0701
This heading covers the raw tuber only. Once a potato is frozen, dried or swapped for a different root, it moves to another heading in the same chapter.
Frozen potatoes, whether raw or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, go with frozen vegetables in heading 0710. Dried potatoes that are whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder form, but not further prepared, go with dried vegetables in heading 0712. That is where people looking for flakes or powder usually need to check.
Sweet potatoes are a different plant, and customs treats them that way. They sit in heading 0714, along with manioc, arrowroot and other roots and tubers rich in starch.
Other fresh vegetables have their own heading pages, and you can reach them from the chapter page or from the list of all HS code chapters.
