0701.90.50.17 - Russet or netted gem varieties

This HTS classification covers fresh or chilled potatoes belonging to the "Russet" or "netted gem" varieties, packed in immediate containers weighing no more than 1200 kilograms net weight. These are specific types of potatoes, often recognized by their characteristic brown, netted skin. Classification under this subheading requires the potatoes to meet the defined varietal characteristics.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific varietal type. For instance, it is separate from "certified organic" potatoes (0701.90.50.05), regardless of variety. It also differs from "red skin varieties" (0701.90.50.21) and "white varieties" (0701.90.50.37), which are classified based on their distinct skin color. The "Other" category at this level (0701.90.50.41) serves as a residual for any other varieties not specifically enumerated.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0701.90.50.17. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive based on the physical characteristics of the potato, specifically its varietal type (Russet or netted gem) and the net weight of the immediate container. Importers should ensure documentation accurately reflects these criteria to facilitate smooth customs processing.
