0714.90.46.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0714.90.46.00, covers "Other" frozen roots and tubers, with a specific focus on those with high starch or inulin content, that do not fit into the more specific subcategories within the "Frozen" designation. While Chapter 7 broadly covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers, this particular heading and subheading are for the residual classification of these starchy items when presented in a frozen state. Examples might include frozen taro, frozen yams (other than sweet potatoes which are also covered elsewhere), or other similar starchy tubers that are not otherwise specified.

Crucially, this category distinguishes itself from its siblings by excluding mixtures and specifically identified items. For instance, 0714.90.41.00 and 0714.90.42.00 are dedicated to various mixtures involving Chinese water chestnuts and pea pods, while 0714.90.44.00 specifically covers unfrozen Chinese water chestnuts. Therefore, 0714.90.46.00 serves as a residual category for any other type of frozen starchy root or tuber that doesn't fall under those more narrowly defined classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0714.90.46.00. Classification within this subheading relies on the absence of the specific characteristics that would place the product into a sibling category, and its conformity to the general description of frozen roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content. The primary determinant is the frozen presentation and the inherent starchy or inulin-rich composition of the root or tuber.
