0701.90.50.46 - Russet or netted gem varieties

This HTS category, 0701.90.50.46, specifically classifies fresh or chilled potatoes belonging to the "russet" or "netted gem" varieties. These are characterized by their distinct skin texture, which is typically rough or netted, and their often elongated or oval shape. Examples include varieties commonly known as russets, which are widely used for baking, frying, and mashing due to their starchy composition and fluffy texture when cooked.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note that 0701.90.50.46 does not include potatoes classified as certified organic (0701.90.50.43), red skin varieties (0701.90.50.56), or white varieties (0701.90.50.66). While all fall under the broader heading of "other" potatoes not elsewhere specified within Chapter 7, this specific classification focuses on the unique visual and inherent varietal characteristics of russet and netted gem types. The "Other" category (0701.90.50.76) serves as a residual classification for any other varieties not otherwise detailed.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification of potatoes under 0701.90.50.46 relies entirely on their adherence to the physical and varietal descriptions of russet or netted gem types, ensuring accurate customs declarations for these particular fresh or chilled potato imports.
