0701.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 0701.90, encompasses potatoes, fresh or chilled, that are not classified under the specific subheading for seed potatoes. It includes all other edible potatoes intended for consumption, regardless of variety or intended culinary use, as long as they remain in their fresh or chilled state. This category serves as a catch-all for common table stock potatoes that are not designated for planting.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0701.10.00, which exclusively covers potatoes intended for propagation. The key differentiating factor is the intended use; seed potatoes are specifically grown and certified for planting, while those classified under 0701.90 are destined for consumption. Therefore, visual inspection and documentation related to intended purpose are crucial for correct classification.

Within this broader category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. Subcategory 0701.90.10 specifically identifies "Yellow (Solano) potatoes," indicating a focus on potatoes with distinct visual characteristics and common market identification. The remaining edible fresh or chilled potatoes fall under the broader "Other" subheading of 0701.90.50, accommodating all other varieties not explicitly detailed in the more specific subheadings.
