Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further processed into flour
Taro reduced to flour or powder moves to heading 1106 for starch-containing flours, distinct from mere pellet form.
If from cassava instead of taro
Cassava (manioc) pellets are classified separately under 0714.10, as the hierarchy specifies different tubers.
If fresh or chilled, not dried
Fresh or chilled taro roots fall under 0714.90 but pelleting typically implies drying; fresh state changes to other subheadings.
