0401.50.02.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 0401.50.02.00, encompasses milk and cream that is not concentrated, does not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, and has a fat content exceeding 10 percent but not exceeding 45 percent by weight. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is its specific entry pursuant to general note 15 of the tariff schedule, which outlines specific conditions or requirements for its classification.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broader umbrella of milk and cream with a fat content exceeding 10 percent but not exceeding 45 percent, 0401.50.05.00 is specifically for products entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 4. The "Other" category, 0401.50.25.00, serves as a residual for products meeting the general fat content criteria but not falling under the specific provisions of general note 15 or additional U.S. note 5. Therefore, classification hinges on strict adherence to the referenced general and additional U.S. notes.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. All products meeting the fat content criteria of exceeding 10 percent but not exceeding 45 percent, and specifically entered under general note 15, will be classified under this HTS code. The practical application of this classification relies heavily on verifying compliance with the stipulations outlined within general note 15.
