0402.21.02.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 0402.21.02.00, specifically covers milk and cream in a solid form (powder, granules, etc.) with a fat content exceeding 1.5 percent by weight, and which does not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. The defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is that the product's fat content, by weight, does not exceed 3 percent. This provides a precise threshold for distinguishing it within the broader classification of milk powders and granules without added sweeteners.

This specific classification is distinguished from its siblings primarily by the precise fat content criteria. While 0402.21.05.00 addresses products described under additional U.S. note 7 and entered pursuant to its provisions (which may involve specific import requirements or origins), and 0402.21.25.00 is a general "other" category for solid milk and cream of this fat content range without added sweeteners, 0402.21.02.00 is for products that meet the explicit criteria of having a fat content *not exceeding 3 percent*. This requires careful analysis of the product's declared fat percentage to ensure correct classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is final for products meeting all preceding criteria and the specific fat content limitation outlined. Therefore, accurate determination relies on verifying the product's physical form, the absence of added sugar, and the precise percentage of fat by weight to ensure it falls within the less than or equal to 3 percent range.
