0401.20.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0401.20.40.00, encompasses milk and cream that is not concentrated and does not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, specifically where the fat content by weight exceeds 1 percent but does not exceed 6 percent. This classification is for those milk and cream products that fall within this specific fat content range and do not meet the criteria for other subdivisions within the broader heading of milk and cream.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0401.20.20.00. While both fall under milk and cream with a fat content between 1% and 6%, the sibling category is reserved for specific annual import quotas. Therefore, 0401.20.40.00 applies to all milk and cream products meeting the fat content criteria that are not subject to these annual quantity limitations.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0401.20.40.00 is final for milk and cream meeting the specified fat content and devoid of concentration or added sweeteners, and not subject to specific import quota provisions. This generally includes types of fresh milk and light cream intended for direct consumption or use in food preparation.
