Heading 0701

Potatoes, fresh or chilled

14 declarable lines

Heading 0701 covers potatoes that are fresh or chilled. The heading first separates seed potatoes from other potatoes, then separates yellow (Solano) potatoes and other potatoes, and later uses immediate container net weight and variety such as Russet, red skin, and white. Certified organic status is also a declared line.
