0403.90.55.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers specific types of dried, acidified milk and cream products that do not fit into more narrowly defined subcategories within Chapter 04. The key defining characteristic of this group is their butterfat content, which must be greater than 6 percent but not exceed 35 percent by weight. These are fermented or acidified milk and cream products that have undergone a drying process, meaning they are in a concentrated, powdered, or granulated form. Examples could include dried buttermilk powder or certain dried sour cream powders that meet the specified butterfat range and have been acidified.

This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by the precise butterfat range and the absence of specific qualifying conditions. For instance, HTS code 0403.90.47.00 applies to products meeting general note 15 provisions, and 0403.90.51.00 is for those described in additional U.S. note 8. This "Other" category serves as a residual for dried, acidified milk and cream products that meet the general description but do not qualify for those specific preferential provisions.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is determined by confirming the product is indeed a dried, acidified milk or cream product and verifying its butterfat content falls within the 6 percent to 35 percent range, and that it does not meet the criteria for the sibling categories.
