0714.40.50.00 - In the form of pellets

This HTS category, 0714.40.50.00, specifically classifies taro (Colocasia spp.) that has been processed into pellets. The "in the form of pellets" designation signifies that the taro has undergone a manufacturing process to consolidate it into small, uniform shapes, typically for ease of handling, storage, or further processing. This form differentiates it from other preparations of taro that might be sliced, diced, or ground.

The primary sibling category at this level is 0714.40.60.00, also described as "Other." While both fall under the broader heading for taro, this sibling would encompass any taro preparations not specifically classified elsewhere within the 0714.40 subheadings, such as taro flour, meal, or larger, unpelletized dried pieces. Therefore, classification into 0714.40.50.00 is strictly dependent on the taro being presented in a pelletized form.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification is complete at this level, identifying taro in pellet form under the general framework of roots and tubers with high starch content. This detailed classification allows for precise tracking and tariff application for this specific product form of taro.
