Summary

Potato Research and Promotion Act Amendments of 1989 - Amends the Potato Research and Promotion Act to subject imported potatoes to marketing assessments (on the same basis as domestic potatoes). Defines "importer" for purposes of such Act. Requires importers to: (1) pay the assessment to the Potato Promotion Board; and (2) maintain specified records. Makes potato marketing orders applicable to potatoes produced in the United States and abroad. Prohibits assessment refunds. Includes importers on the Potato Promotion Board. Exempts changes under this Act to potato plans from producer referendum requirements.
