0402.21.75.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 0402.21.75.00, specifically covers milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, which are in powder, granules, or other solid forms with a fat content exceeding 1.5 percent by weight. Crucially, these products are not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter and are eligible for classification under this heading when they meet the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 9 to Chapter 4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This note provides detailed requirements for entry pursuant to its provisions, which must be strictly adhered to for correct classification.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note the precise conditions for entry. While 0402.21.73.00 covers similar solid milk and cream products not containing added sugar, its eligibility for classification is tied to general note 15 of the tariff schedule. In contrast, 0402.21.75.00 is exclusively designated for products meeting the specific conditions detailed in additional U.S. note 9. The remaining sibling, 0402.21.90.00, covers "Other" solid milk and cream products that do not fall under either of these specific provisions.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 0402.21.75.00 lies entirely on ensuring the imported product precisely aligns with the description and requirements stipulated in additional U.S. note 9. This includes verifying the product's physical form (powder, granules, or other solid form), its fat content, the absence of added sugar or sweetening matter, and its eligibility for entry under the specified provisions.
