0406.90.14.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, HTS Code 0406.90.14.00, specifically covers cheeses and curds that fall under the broader category of "other cheese" but are not Edam or Gouda as defined by additional U.S. note 20 or general note 15 of the tariff schedule. It encompasses a wide array of cheeses not specifically listed in other subheadings within chapter 04, provided they meet the general requirements for cheese and curd.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of specific types of cheeses. Unlike sibling category 0406.90.16.00, which is reserved for Edam and Gouda cheeses meeting particular U.S. note provisions, and sibling category 0406.90.18.00, which is a catch-all for other unspecified cheeses, this classification applies to cheeses described under general note 15 and entered pursuant to its specific provisions. Therefore, the defining characteristic is adherence to the criteria outlined in general note 15.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0406.90.14.00 is therefore dependent on fulfilling the requirements of general note 15 of the tariff schedule. This typically involves specific compositional, processing, or origin criteria that are detailed in that note and must be demonstrated for proper customs clearance.
