HTS heading 1105 groups potato products that have been processed into a dry, granular, or powdered form. It covers potato flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules, and pellets, rather than fresh potatoes or ordinary prepared foods such as seasoned snack products. The heading describes the product’s basic form and material: potatoes.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s physical form and composition, then read the subheadings and statistical subdivisions under heading 1105. The narrower code may distinguish products by type, such as flakes or another form, and may depend on whether the product is made solely from potatoes or includes other ingredients. Confirm the applicable wording, legal notes, and unit of quantity in the current HTSUS. If the product is a prepared food or contains substantial additions, classification may require analysis outside this heading.
What to check
- Inspect the product’s manufacturing process, ingredient list, moisture level, and physical form at importation.
- Match the product to the exact subheading language; do not rely only on a commercial name such as “potato powder.”
- Check whether added ingredients, seasoning, or preparation for direct consumption affects classification under another heading.
- Review the relevant HTSUS chapter notes, subheading notes, and statistical descriptions before selecting the 8-digit code.
- Request a binding classification ruling or consult a qualified customs broker when the product could fit more than one category.
HTS heading 1105 summary
Flour is a 4-digit product category containing 2 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
