0406.40.58.00 - Other

This HTS category, "Other," within the blue-veined and Penicillium roqueforti-containing cheeses, specifically captures blue cheeses that do not fit the description of "in original loaves" as outlined in the sibling category 0406.40.54.00. It encompasses a broad range of blue-veined cheeses, whether manufactured in blocks, wheels, or other forms, where the characteristic blue or green veins are a result of the deliberate introduction and growth of Penicillium roqueforti mold. The key defining characteristic remains the presence of these internal mold veins, distinguishing them from other cheese types.

This classification is further refined by its relationship to additional U.S. note 17 to Chapter 4. Items falling under this specific "Other" category must be described in and entered pursuant to the provisions of that note. This suggests there are specific conditions, documentation, or trade agreements that dictate the import requirements for these particular blue cheeses, beyond the general tariff classification.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification professionals lies in understanding the precise scope of "Other" in conjunction with the conditions stipulated in additional U.S. note 17. Examples of cheeses that might fall here include certain artisanally produced blues that are not presented in large, original loaves for retail sale and meet the requirements of the aforementioned U.S. note.
