0403.90.65.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers "Other" dried fermented or acidified milk and cream products within the broader category of buttermilk, curdled milk and cream, kephir, and similar items, excluding those specifically identified in preceding subheadings. Specifically, this subheading is for dried forms of these products that do not meet the criteria for the more specific sibling categories.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its siblings lies in the specific provisions and notes within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Sibling categories like 0403.90.57.00 and 0403.90.61.00 are reserved for products that meet particular conditions outlined in general note 15 or additional U.S. note 9, respectively. This current subheading serves as a residual category for dried fermented milk products that do not qualify for these specific preferential or conditional entries.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading requires careful consideration of the product's physical form (dried), its fermented or acidified nature, and the exclusion from any specifically enumerated sibling categories based on special tariff provisions. This ensures that dried fermented milk and cream products, other than those with specific tariff treatment, are correctly classified.
