0406.20.29.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 0406.20.29.00, specifically covers grated or powdered cheddar cheese that is not otherwise specified under the preceding subheadings. It encompasses cheddar cheese that has been processed into a grated or powdered form for ease of use and distribution. The defining characteristic here is the form of the cheese, as it must be grated or powdered to fall within this broader category.

The distinction between this classification and its siblings lies in their specific entry requirements and additional qualifications. HTS code 0406.20.31, for instance, applies to grated or powdered cheddar cheese that meets the criteria outlined in Additional U.S. Note 18 to Chapter 4, suggesting a particular set of conditions or origins that differentiate it. The sibling code 0406.20.33.00 serves as a residual category for any grated or powdered cheddar cheese that doesn't fit the more specific criteria of other subheadings.

As 0406.20.29.00 is a leaf node within the HTS structure, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, its classification is determined by the direct application of its description and its relation to its immediate sibling categories, focusing on whether the product is indeed grated or powdered cheddar cheese and does not qualify for the more narrowly defined provisions within its parent category.
