0403.90.41 - Described in additional U.S. note 12 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification pertains to dried, fermented or acidified milk and cream products falling under the "other" category, specifically those containing not over 6 percent by weight of butterfat. This includes a variety of products such as dried yogurt, dried buttermilk, and other dried cultured milk and cream beverages that have undergone fermentation or acidification. The key defining characteristic is their dried form and a butterfat content not exceeding 6%.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0403.90.37.00, by the absence of the specific condition outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and its entry provisions. Furthermore, it differs from the "Other" sibling category (0403.90.45.00) by its precise definition of containing not over 6 percent by weight of butterfat, whereas the latter encompasses all other dried, fermented or acidified milk and cream products not meeting specific prior headings.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the tariff. The subdivision 0403.90.41.10 applies to articles for which an import license is specifically required, indicating regulatory controls beyond standard customs duties. The remaining products falling under this butterfat and dryness criteria, but not requiring a specific import license, are classified under 0403.90.41.90, providing a residual category for unhindered imports.
