0406.20.28.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0406.20.28.00, encompasses "Other" grated or powdered blue-veined cheese. It serves as a residual classification for any grated or powdered blue-veined cheese that does not fall under the specific sibling categories defined by general U.S. notes. The defining characteristic remains the presence of blue-veining, indicating the characteristic mold growth within the cheese.

Unlike its sibling categories, which are designated for specific tariff treatments outlined in general note 15 and additional U.S. note 17 respectively, this "Other" category applies to all other grated or powdered blue-veined cheeses. The distinction hinges on whether the cheese meets the specific requirements or provisions outlined in those particular notes. Therefore, if a grated or powdered blue-veined cheese does not qualify for entry under those specified notes, it will be classified here.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. This means that once a product is determined to be grated or powdered blue-veined cheese and does not fit the criteria of the preceding sibling categories, it is definitively classified under 0406.20.28.00. Examples include any such cheeses that are not subject to the specific conditions or special tariff treatments prescribed in the more narrowly defined preceding classifications.
