0402.21.30.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 8 to this chapterand entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 0402.21.30.00, specifically covers milk and cream in solid form, such as powder or granules, with a fat content exceeding 1.5 percent by weight, and which does not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. The key defining characteristic of this particular subheading is that it applies to products specifically described in additional U.S. note 8 to Chapter 4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, and which are entered into the United States in accordance with the provisions outlined within that note.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note that 0402.21.27.00 covers milk and cream products that meet the same general physical and compositional requirements but are instead entered under the provisions of general note 15. The "Other" category, 0402.21.50.00, serves as a residual classification for all other milk and cream products that fit the broader criteria of 0402.21 but do not qualify for either the specific provisions of additional U.S. note 8 or general note 15.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying products that meet the stipulated fat content, solid form, absence of added sweeteners, and critically, eligibility for entry under the specific requirements of additional U.S. note 8. Importers must consult this additional U.S. note to confirm if their product's specific attributes and intended use align with the conditions for classification under this subheading.
