0402.99 - Other:

This HTS category, 0402.99, encompasses milk and cream that are concentrated or contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, but are not otherwise specified within Chapter 4. This broad classification applies to dairy preparations that have undergone concentration processes, such as evaporation, and include the addition of sweetening agents like sucrose, glucose, or artificial sweeteners. The key characteristic is the presence of both concentration and added sweetness.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0402.91, which covers concentrated milk and cream that do *not* contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. Therefore, if a concentrated milk or cream product has been sweetened, it falls under 0402.99, whereas unsweetened concentrated versions are classified under 0402.91.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to categorize these products based on their specific form and preparation. These subcategories provide more granular classification options to ensure accurate identification of condensed milk products and other preparations meeting the criteria of concentrated and sweetened dairy.
