Product classification
HS code for Frozen potato wedges: 2004.10
Vegetable preparations, potatoes, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, frozen.
Classification of frozen potato wedges under HS 2004.10
Frozen potato wedges are classified under HS code 2004.10. This classification falls under Chapter 20, which covers preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. The determination for this code is based on the fact that commercial potato wedges are typically 'prepared' before being frozen. Preparation usually involves blanching in hot water or par-frying in oil to deactivate enzymes and partially cook the starch, which ensures the product maintains its texture and color after final cooking. Because of this processing, the product is excluded from Chapter 7 (raw vegetables) and placed in Chapter 20. Heading 2004 specifically addresses vegetables that are prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid and are kept in a frozen state. The classification is consistent globally under the Harmonized System for pre-cut, frozen potato products intended for frying or baking.

Codes often confused with 2004.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 0710.10, which covers potatoes that are simply frozen but otherwise raw (not blanched or par-fried). Most commercial wedges do not fit 0710.10 because of the heat treatment they undergo. Another error is using 2005.20, which is for potato preparations that are not frozen, such as canned potatoes or shelf-stable potato snacks. If the wedges are fully cooked and part of a complete frozen meal, they might be classified under 2106.90 or the specific heading for the meal.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
