Are there specific import regulations for these products?

Yes, each HS-6 line may have different import regulations and tariff rates, so it's essential to classify your product accurately.

HS-4 0714: Manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content; fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets; sago pith

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0714 when importing manioc, sweet potatoes, or similar starchy roots and tubers, whether fresh, frozen, or dried. For example, if you're bringing in frozen cassava for food processing, this heading applies.

To differentiate between HS-6 lines, consider the specific root type. For instance, if your shipment includes fresh sweet potatoes, classify it under HS-071420. If it’s manioc, use HS-071410 instead. Each line specifies the type of tuber, affecting tariff rates and import regulations.

If your product includes yams, you should use HS-071430. However, if it’s taro, the correct classification is HS-071440. Each of these lines has unique characteristics, so ensure you identify the correct type to avoid misclassification.

For products like arrowroot or Jerusalem artichokes, use HS-071490. This line captures various roots not covered by the other classifications, but still with high starch or inulin content. Knowing these distinctions is crucial for compliance and accurate duty calculations.
