0714.50 Vegetable roots and tubers; yautia (Xanthosoma spp.) with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section II, Vegetable Products — plants, vegetables, fruit, nuts, coffee, tea, cereals, seeds and flours.
- 07 Chapter Vegetables and certain roots and tubers; edible
- 14 Heading 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
- 50 Subheading Vegetable roots and tubers; yautia (Xanthosoma spp.) with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets
Chapter 7 covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers: fresh, chilled, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved (in brine or sulphur water, for example), but not vegetables that have been fully cooked or otherwise prepared into a dish, which fall under chapter 20. Classification tip: Potatoes, onions and other staple vegetables often carry seasonal tariff-rate quotas in major import markets, so check the applicable period alongside the code.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

0714.50 covers vegetable roots and tubers; yautia (xanthosoma spp.) with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets. It sits under heading 07.14 (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) in chapter 07, Section II of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 0714.50 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section II and to chapter 07. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
