0406.10.18.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 0406.10.18.00, is for "Other" fresh (unripened or uncured) cheese and curd. It encompasses fresh cheeses and curd that do not fall under the more specific classifications within the 0406.10.10 range. This broad category serves as a residual for fresh dairy products of this type that do not meet the detailed requirements of other subheadings.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0406.10.14.00. The sibling category specifically covers goods that are described in additional U.S. note 17 to Chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions. Therefore, 0406.10.18.00 applies to fresh cheeses and curd that are *not* subject to those specific entry provisions. The primary determinant for classification here is whether the fresh cheese or curd meets the criteria of other, more narrowly defined subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading relies on exclusion from more specific descriptions of fresh cheese and curd within HTS Chapter 4. Examples of goods that might fall here include certain types of fresh cheese made from cow's milk, goat's milk, or sheep's milk that are not specifically listed or defined in preceding subheadings, provided they are presented in a fresh, unripened, or uncured state and do not meet the criteria for blue-mold cheese or cheese substitutes containing blue-mold cheese.
