Import Tips
• Verify varietal classification as 'white' via agricultural certificates to avoid misclassification into red or yellow potato subheadings
• Ensure potatoes are fresh or chilled only; any freezing requires reclassification under 0710.10
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits and phytosanitary certificates to prevent pest-related quarantines
