0403.90.41.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers dried buttermilk and sour cream products that contain no more than 6 percent by weight of butterfat. These products must also meet the specific criteria outlined in Additional U.S. Note 12 to Chapter 4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This note typically relates to specific import conditions or trade agreements that grant preferential treatment or establish particular entry requirements for these dairy products.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 0403.90.41.10, which pertains to similar dried buttermilk and sour cream products but specifically requires an import license for entry. This distinction is based on regulatory authorization; while both subcategories fall under dried buttermilk and sour cream with low butterfat, one necessitates a specific import license, whereas the other relies on compliance with Additional U.S. Note 12 for its entry provisions.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 0403.90.41.90 is final, provided that the product is indeed dried buttermilk or sour cream with a butterfat content not exceeding 6 percent and complies with the stipulations of Additional U.S. Note 12. Importers must carefully verify the butterfat percentage and ensure all conditions of the aforementioned note are satisfied to correctly classify their goods.
