0406.20.56.00 - Other, described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, 0406.20.56.00, encompasses grated or powdered cheese that does not fall under the more specific subcategories within the grated or powdered cheese heading. It is specifically defined by its conformity with general note 15 of the tariff schedule and its entry pursuant to the provisions outlined therein. This designation suggests a specialized treatment or import program that is not automatically applied to all grated or powdered cheeses.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0406.20.55.00, is crucial. While 0406.20.55.00 is exclusively for cheeses made from sheep's milk, this current classification covers all other types of grated or powdered cheese not specifically identified by their milk source or other qualifying characteristics as defined by general note 15. Therefore, any grated or powdered cheese that is not derived solely from sheep's milk and meets the criteria of general note 15 would be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Classification at this level signifies the final categorization for these specific types of grated or powdered cheeses under the general note 15 provisions. Importers and exporters should carefully review the requirements and conditions of general note 15 to ensure proper declaration and compliance when classifying goods under 0406.20.56.00.
