Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 0401.40, encompasses milk and cream that are not concentrated and do not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. The defining characteristic of products within this classification is their fat content, which by weight, must exceed 6 percent but not exceed 10 percent. This specifically targets dairy products with a moderate fat level.

Distinguishing 0401.40 from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Products classified under 0401.10.00.00 have a fat content not exceeding 1 percent, while those under 0401.20 have a fat content exceeding 1 percent but not exceeding 6 percent. Conversely, products with a fat content exceeding 10 percent fall under the 0401.50 category. Therefore, 0401.40 is precisely for milk and cream with a fat range of 6.01% to 10.00%.

The subcategories within 0401.40 provide further specificity for distinct entry conditions or product types. The presence of subcategories like "Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions" and "Described in additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions" indicates that certain specific regulations or special provisions may apply to goods entering under these codes. The "Other" subcategory serves as a catch-all for products meeting the fat content criteria of 0401.40 but not falling under any specific enumerated provision.
