Product classification
HS code for Potato powder: 1105.10
Flour, meal and powder, of potatoes.
Classification of potato powder under HS 1105.10
Potato powder is classified under HS code 1105.10, which encompasses flour, meal, and powder of potatoes. This classification is governed by the Harmonized System's Chapter 11, which focuses on products of the milling industry. Potato powder is produced by dehydrating cooked or raw potatoes and then milling them into a very fine particulate matter. Unlike potato starch, which is a pure carbohydrate extract, potato powder retains the nutritional profile of the whole potato, including its fiber and protein content. The classification under 1105.10 is specific to the physical state of the product; it must be a fine powder resulting from the milling process. This heading is used globally to ensure uniform tariff application for dehydrated potato ingredients used in soups, sauces, and bakery products.

Codes often confused with 1105.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for potato powder is HS code 1108.13, which is the specific code for potato starch. While they look similar, starch is an extract, whereas powder is the whole potato milled. Another misclassification occurs with HS code 0712.90, which covers dried potatoes. However, once the dried potato is processed into a powder, it is considered a product of the milling industry and must be classified under 1105.10. Importers must ensure the technical specifications clarify whether the product is a whole-potato derivative or a pure starch extract.

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).
