0406.30.71.00 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 0406.30.71.00, encompasses processed cheese and curd that does not fall into the specific category of "Described in additional U.S. note 19 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions." It specifically refers to processed cheese, not grated or powdered, which are further categorized under "Other, including mixtures of the above." The defining characteristic of this classification is that it pertains to processed cheese that *is not* processed from or does not contain American-type cheese varieties such as Colby, washed curd, or granular cheese.

Therefore, this "Other" category serves as a residual classification for processed cheese that doesn't meet the specific criteria of its sibling, 0406.30.69.00, nor the defined exclusions related to American-type cheese. The distinction hinges on the specific composition and processing methods, particularly the absence of components derived from or resembling Colby, washed curd, or granular cheese.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this subcategory relies on a careful examination of the product's ingredients and manufacturing process to confirm it is processed cheese, not grated or powdered, and crucially, that it does not contain or is not processed from American-type cheeses, nor does it meet the specifications outlined in additional U.S. note 19 for its sibling category.
