HTS heading 0714 is a broad product category for certain starch-rich roots, tubers, and related plant products. It groups cassava (manioc), arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes, similar high-starch or high-inulin roots and tubers, and sago pith. The goods may be fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried, and may be sliced or made into pellets.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the product’s specific material or type, then check how it is presented and processed. The 8-digit subheading commonly separates products by the root or tuber involved and may distinguish forms such as fresh, frozen, dried, sliced, or pellets. Read the complete tariff description and any legal notes, rather than relying only on a product name or a search result.
What to check
- Confirm the botanical identity and common commercial name of the product, including whether it is cassava, sweet potato, sago pith, or another listed root or tuber.
- Document the condition at import: fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, sliced, or formed into pellets.
- Check whether the product is still a root, tuber, or sago pith product or has been further prepared in a way that could place it in another heading.
- Compare the full 8-digit HTSUS descriptions and applicable chapter or section notes; do not stop at heading 0714.
- Use product specifications, photographs, ingredient information, and processing details, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the classification remains uncertain.

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.
