0406.20.53.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0406.20.53.00, specifically covers "Other" grated or powdered cheeses that are made from cow's milk. Building upon the broader category of grated or powdered cheeses, and the more specific grouping of Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz, and Goya cheeses, this subheading captures those within this specified group that do not meet the criteria of the preceding sibling classification. It is crucial to note that this category focuses on the origin of the milk used in the cheese production.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 0406.20.51.00, lies in the specific conditions outlined in additional U.S. note 21 to chapter 4. While both fall under the umbrella of grated or powdered Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz, and Goya cheeses made from cow's milk, the sibling is designated for goods entered *pursuant to the provisions* of that particular note. Therefore, 0406.20.53.00 encompasses all other grated or powdered cheeses within this named group that are made from cow's milk but do not qualify for the specific preferential entry conditions detailed in the aforementioned U.S. note.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a thorough review of the cheese's origin, its processing into a grated or powdered form, and confirmation that it is indeed derived from cow's milk, while also verifying that it does not meet the specific entry requirements of the preceding sibling category. This ensures accurate customs declarations for these specific types of grated or powdered cheeses.
