0406.20.79.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0406.20.79.00, specifically covers "Other" grated or powdered cheese, falling under the broader category of "Grated or powdered cheese, of all kinds." This designation serves as a residual category for grated or powdered cheeses that do not fit into more specific descriptions within this subheading. It encompasses a wide variety of grated and powdered cheeses not explicitly detailed elsewhere, including those that may be blended or processed in ways not otherwise specified.

This category is distinct from its sibling HTS code, 0406.20.77.00, which is reserved for grated or powdered cheeses that meet the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 21 to Chapter 4 and are entered in accordance with those provisions. Therefore, 0406.20.79.00 applies to any grated or powdered cheese not meeting those particular entry requirements, effectively capturing all remaining grated or powdered cheeses.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories. Classification under 0406.20.79.00 is determined by the exclusion of the product from more specific descriptions within the grated or powdered cheese provision, coupled with its failure to meet the specific conditions of the sibling category. The key is that the cheese is grated or powdered and does not fall into any other more precisely defined classification at this level.
