0406.30.57.00 - Containing, or processed from, Bryndza, Gjetost, Gammelost, Nokkelost or Roquefort cheeses 🖩

This HTS category, 0406.30.57.00, specifically classifies processed cheese and curd that contains or is processed from particular types of cheeses. This includes a distinct group of traditional European cheeses such as Bryndza, Gjetost, Gammelost, Nokkelost, and the well-known blue-veined cheese, Roquefort. The key characteristic is the inclusion of these specified cheese types, either as a primary component or through processing that imbues the final product with their distinctive flavor and texture profiles.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For example, while other sibling categories address processed cheeses containing Cheddar, Italian-type cheeses, or general blue-veined cheeses (excluding Roquefort), this specific subcategory is reserved for those products where Bryndza, Gjetost, Gammelost, Nokkelost, or Roquefort are the defining ingredients. This level of specificity ensures that cheeses with unique origins and production methods are correctly categorized.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 0406.30.57.00 hinges entirely on the presence and proportion of the specified cheeses. Importers and exporters should ensure that their product documentation clearly identifies the inclusion of Bryndza, Gjetost, Gammelost, Nokkelost, or Roquefort to justify classification under this detailed heading.
