2005.20.00.70 - Other 🖩

HTS code 2005.20.00.70, described as "Other," encompasses potatoes prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, and not frozen, that do not fall under more specific subheadings within heading 2005. This category serves as a residual classification for potato preparations that are not explicitly defined as potato chips (2005.20.00.20) or potato granules (2005.20.00.40).

This residual nature means that items classified here are typically processed potatoes that retain a form distinct from chips (thinly sliced, fried or baked) or granules (dried, pulverized powder). Examples might include whole or diced potatoes preserved in brine or other aqueous solutions, canned diced potatoes, or mashed potato preparations that do not meet the criteria for granules. The key is that they are not vinegar-preserved, frozen, or specifically categorized as chips or granules.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification decisions will rely on a careful assessment of the product's processing method, form, and the exclusion criteria of the preceding potato-related subheadings under 2005.20.00.
