Overview
This HTS classification covers yams (Dioscorea spp.) that are specifically prepared or processed into the form of pellets. This includes yams that have undergone a process to be agglomerated into small, dense shapes for easier handling, storage, or further processing. The key characteristic is the physical form of the product, distinguishing it from other preparations of yams.
This subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 0714.30.60.00, which is designated for "Other" yams. While both fall under the broader category of yams (Dioscorea spp.), this classification strictly pertains to pellets. Therefore, if the yam product is not in pellet form, even if it is sliced, dried, or otherwise processed, it would likely fall under the "Other" classification at this level, provided it does not meet the specific criteria of pelletization.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete once the product is identified as yam (Dioscorea spp.) and confirmed to be in the form of pellets. This level of detail ensures precise tariff application for a specific product presentation within the broader category of roots and tubers.
