0406.20.71.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 0406.20.71.00, specifically covers "Other" grated or powdered cheese, including mixtures, that contain or are processed from American-type cheese. This definition explicitly includes cheeses like Colby, washed curd, and granular cheese. The "American-type cheese" designation is key here, differentiating it from other American-origin or American-style cheeses not fitting these specific subtypes.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 0406.20.69.00, by its exclusion from the specific provisions outlined in additional U.S. note 19 to Chapter 4. While both fall under grated or powdered cheese containing American-type cheese, the sibling category is reserved for products meeting particular entry requirements detailed in that note, whereas 0406.20.71.00 encompasses all other grated or powdered cheeses fitting the American-type description that do not qualify for the special provisions of note 19.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code relies on confirming that the grated or powdered cheese product is indeed made from or contains American-type cheese, as defined by Colby, washed curd, or granular cheese, and does not meet the specific criteria for the alternative sibling classification.
