0401.20 - Of a fat content, by weight, exceeding 1 percent but not exceeding 6 percent:

This HTS classification covers milk and cream that are neither concentrated nor contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, specifically where the fat content by weight exceeds 1 percent but does not exceed 6 percent. This category captures a broad range of fresh milk and cream products that fall within this specific fat percentage range.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 0401.10.00.00 covers milk and cream with a fat content not exceeding 1 percent, while 0401.40 and 0401.50 address products with higher fat content (exceeding 6 percent). Therefore, 0401.20 is specifically for the mid-range fat content.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to manage import volumes. The subcategory 0401.20.20.00 applies to quantities entered within an annual quota, indicating a preferential tariff treatment. The subcategory 0401.20.40.00, labeled "Other," encompasses all remaining quantities of milk and cream falling under the 0401.20 fat content criteria that do not qualify for the quota.
