0406.90.06.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 0406.90.06.00, specifically covers Cheddar cheese that meets the detailed criteria outlined in General Note 15 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This classification is reserved for Cheddar cheese that is imported in accordance with the specific provisions stipulated within this note, which often relates to specific production methods, aging requirements, or origin, as further defined by the tariff schedule's overarching general notes.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS 0406.90.08 pertains to Cheddar cheese that adheres to Additional U.S. Note 18 to Chapter 4, indicating a distinct set of U.S.-specific import requirements or definitions separate from the general note. Furthermore, HTS 0406.90.12.00 is a residual category, designated for "Other" Cheddar cheese that does not qualify for the more specific classifications under 0406.90.06.00 or 0406.90.08.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, precise classification under 0406.90.06.00 relies entirely on meeting the specific conditions detailed in General Note 15. Importers must carefully review and comply with the criteria within General Note 15 to ensure correct classification for their Cheddar cheese shipments.
