0402.99.70.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 10 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, HTS Code 0402.99.70.00, pertains to milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, that fall under the specific provisions outlined in additional U.S. note 10 to Chapter 4. This note provides detailed criteria and conditions under which certain milk and cream products are to be classified within this particular subheading, often related to specific import programs, quotas, or special trade agreements.

It is crucial to differentiate this subheading from its siblings. HTS Code 0402.99.68.00 covers milk and cream that meet the requirements of general note 15 of the tariff schedule. The distinction lies in the specific reference; 0402.99.70.00 relies on additional U.S. note 10, which may detail different entry requirements, product formulations, or intended uses compared to those covered by general note 15. The remaining sibling, 0402.99.90.00, is a residual category for any "other" milk and cream products that do not fit the more specific provisions of 0402.99.68.00 or 0402.99.70.00.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 0402.99.70.00 is entirely on ensuring the product meets all stipulations of additional U.S. note 10 to Chapter 4, alongside the general requirements for milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, found in the parent headings. This may involve verifying specific ingredient percentages, manufacturing processes, or end-use declarations as mandated by that additional U.S. note.
