0406.10.14.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 17 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification pertains to fresh (unripened or uncured) cheeses and curd that are specifically described in additional U.S. note 17 to Chapter 4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. To qualify for this category, the cheese or curd must meet the specific criteria outlined in that note and be entered in accordance with its provisions. This often includes certain types of specialty cheeses or cheese products that, due to their unique characteristics or manufacturing processes, are subject to specific import regulations or allowances defined by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 0406.10.18.00 (Other), lies in the specific reference to additional U.S. note 17. While both cover "Other" fresh cheeses and curd, this particular code is reserved for those explicitly defined and permitted under the detailed provisions of that note. Importers must ensure their product aligns precisely with the conditions stipulated in additional U.S. note 17 to claim this classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, with all defining characteristics and conditions for entry being addressed by the HTS code and the referenced additional U.S. note. Therefore, proper identification relies on confirming that the product meets all requirements of additional U.S. note 17 for fresh cheeses and curd.
