0406.20.83.00 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 0406.20.83.00, specifically covers "Other" grated or powdered cheeses that are not described in additional U.S. note 22 to chapter 4. It functions as a residual category for grated or powdered cheeses, encompassing all varieties not explicitly provided for in the preceding sibling classification. The primary criterion for inclusion here is the physical form (grated or powdered) and the absence of specific characteristics or treaty provisions that would place it in the sibling category.

In contrast to the sibling category 0406.20.81.00, which is designated for cheeses meeting specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 22, this subcategory is for all other grated or powdered cheeses. This means that if a grated or powdered cheese does not fulfill the conditions of that particular note, it will likely fall under this "Other" classification. The distinction is crucial for correct duty assessment and compliance.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 0406.20.83.00 relies on a careful assessment of the cheese's characteristics and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific classification within the grated or powdered cheese category, particularly the sibling provision. This category serves as a final destination for any grated or powdered cheese that doesn't fit elsewhere.
