0701.90.50.66 - White varieties 🖩

This classification covers white-skinned potato varieties that do not fall under the more specific categories within heading 0701.90.50. This includes common white potato types primarily used for general consumption, processing into products like french fries, or for seeding, provided they meet the general criteria for fresh or chilled potatoes and their specific varietal characteristics are predominantly white. The classification is based on the visual characteristic of the skin color.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. "Certified organic" refers to potatoes grown under specific organic farming standards. "Russet or netted gem varieties" are identifiable by their distinct rough, netted, or brown skin. "Red skin varieties" are differentiated by their prominent red skin. This "White varieties" category encompasses all other white-skinned types that are not organic, russet/netted gem, or red-skinned.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies solely on the accurate identification of the potato's white skin characteristic and its exclusion from the more specific sibling categories. Importers and exporters should ensure that the potatoes being declared are indeed predominantly white-skinned and do not fit the descriptions of the more precisely defined sibling classifications to ensure correct HTS reporting.
