0406.20.31.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 0406.20.31.90, pertains to "Other" grated or powdered cheddar cheese that meets the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 18 to Chapter 4. These provisions typically relate to certain cheeses that may be subject to particular import conditions or regulations. Therefore, this subcategory encompasses grated or powdered cheddar cheese that falls outside the scope of other specifically defined cheddar cheese entries within this chapter, but still qualifies under the provisions of U.S. note 18.

The distinction of this category from its sibling, 0406.20.31.10, lies in the specific import requirements. While 0406.20.31.10 is designated for cheddar cheese produced in Canada and not subject to licensing, this "Other" category covers cheddar cheese that may be subject to licensing or other specific provisions outlined in additional U.S. note 18, regardless of its country of origin, as long as it is grated or powdered.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0406.20.31.90 is determined by a product being grated or powdered cheddar cheese, and specifically qualifying under the conditions of additional U.S. note 18 to Chapter 4, and not fitting into any more narrowly defined sibling classifications. Importers should carefully review the text of additional U.S. note 18 to ensure their product meets all stipulated requirements for classification under this code.
