0403.90.51.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 8 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions 🖩

This HTS classification covers specific types of dried fermented or acidified milk and cream products, notably sour cream and buttermilk, that contain between 6% and 35% butterfat by weight. The defining characteristic of this category is its adherence to Additional U.S. Note 8 of Chapter 4, which outlines particular provisions for its entry. This means the classification is dependent on meeting specific regulatory or administrative requirements set forth in that note, in addition to the product's inherent characteristics.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, note that 0403.90.47.00 covers similar products but specifically those described in General Note 15 and entered pursuant to its provisions, implying a different set of eligibility criteria. The sibling category 0403.90.55.00, labeled "Other," would encompass any dried sour cream or buttermilk with the specified butterfat content that does not meet the stipulations of Additional U.S. Note 8 or General Note 15. Therefore, the primary differentiator for this particular classification lies in meeting the specific requirements outlined in Additional U.S. Note 8.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0403.90.51.00 is final for products meeting the described butterfat range and the specific entry provisions of Additional U.S. Note 8. This ensures precise identification and customs processing for these particular dried dairy preparations.
