0404.10.50.90 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 0404.10.50.90, pertains to dried whey products that are specifically described in Additional U.S. Note 12 to Chapter 4 and are being entered into the United States in accordance with the provisions outlined in that note. These products consist of natural milk constituents, primarily whey, which may have been concentrated or had sugar or other sweetening matter added. The key defining characteristic for this subheading is compliance with the specific entry requirements stipulated by Additional U.S. Note 12.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0404.10.50.10, "Articles for which an import license is required." While both subheadings fall under dried whey products, this specific classification focuses on those that meet the criteria of Additional U.S. Note 12, regardless of whether an import license is explicitly mentioned in the note itself. The defining factor here is the adherence to the conditions and requirements laid out within that particular U.S. Note, suggesting a special or conditional entry status for these goods.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading is determined solely by whether the dried whey product meets the descriptive criteria of Additional U.S. Note 12 and is entered according to its provisions. Customs officials will verify the documentation and nature of the goods against the specific language and intent of that note to ensure correct classification and compliance.
