0406.10.54.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 21 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification covers specific Italian-type cheeses made from cow's milk. The key characteristic is their origin or preparation method. This includes cheeses presented in their original loaves, such as Romano (made from cow's milk), Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, and Sbrinz. Additionally, it encompasses Italian-type cheeses made from cow's milk that are not in their original loaves, also including Romano (made from cow's milk), Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz, and Goya. This category also extends to cheese and substitutes for cheese that contain or are processed from these defined Italian-type cheeses, regardless of whether they are presented in original loaves.

This specific HTS code, 0406.10.54.00, is distinguished from its sibling, 0406.10.58.00, which falls under "Other" fresh cheeses. While this category precisely defines a set of Italian-type cheeses based on their milk source, form, and processing, the sibling category captures any other fresh cheeses not fitting these specific criteria. The detailed description provided in additional U.S. note 21 to Chapter 4 further refines the scope of goods classified under this HTS code, outlining specific examples and acceptable forms for import.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under 0406.10.54.00 rests on carefully verifying that the imported product meets the detailed specifications outlined in the parent description and any relevant additional U.S. notes, particularly concerning the type of Italian cheese, the milk source (cow's milk), and its presentation (in or not in original loaves).
