0714.90.61.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0714.90.61.00, encompasses "Other" roots and tubers within Chapter 7 that are not specifically enumerated under prior subheadings of 0714. This category serves as a residual for fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried roots and tubers with a high starch or inulin content, including those sliced or in pellet form, and sago pith, when they do not fit into more specific descriptions. The defining characteristic remains their high starch or inulin content, distinguishing them from common vegetables.

This subheading differentiates itself from its sibling category, 0714.90.51.00, which exclusively covers these starchy roots and tubers when they are presented in the form of pellets. Therefore, HTS 0714.90.61.00 applies to all other forms of these goods that are not pelleted, such as whole, sliced, or powdered preparations, provided they meet the general requirements of the parent headings.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification decision at this level hinges on ensuring the product is a root or tuber with high starch or inulin content, is not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 0714, and is not presented in pellet form. Practical classification will rely on the physical form, processing, and inherent starch or inulin content of the imported goods.
