0406.10.04.00 - Described in additional U.S.note 16 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 0406.10.04.00, specifically covers fresh (unripened or uncured) cheese and curd that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 16 to Chapter 4. This note provides specific definitions and requirements that goods must satisfy to be classified under this heading. Essentially, it designates a particular subset of fresh cheeses and curds based on established regulatory definitions and conditions for entry.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0406.10.02.00, which applies to fresh cheeses and curds meeting the provisions of general note 15. The difference lies in the specific additional U.S. note that governs the classification. While both deal with fresh cheese and curd, the controlling legal basis for classification is distinct, requiring careful examination of which note applies to the imported merchandise. The "Other" category (0406.10.08.00) serves as a catch-all for fresh cheeses and curds not specifically accounted for by the preceding subheadings.

As a leaf node, 0406.10.04.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this specific code hinges entirely on whether the goods in question are fresh cheese or curd and meet the detailed stipulations found within additional U.S. note 16. Examples might include specific types of fresh cheese or curd that are formally recognized and defined by this particular U.S. note, often relating to their production method, moisture content, or intended use as stipulated by customs regulations.
