0406.90.37.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0406.90.37.00, encompasses "Other" cheeses and curd that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within the broader category of "Other cheese." It serves as a residual category for cheeses that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere. Typically, this would include cheeses that do not meet the precise requirements of defined subheadings for types like Sbrinz cheese when these specific requirements are also not met by additional U.S. note provisions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0406.90.36.00, is crucial. The sibling category is specifically for cheeses described in additional U.S. note 21 to Chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions. Therefore, 0406.90.37.00 covers cheeses that do not qualify for this special entry provision. The key differentiator lies in whether a cheese is explicitly listed or defined within additional U.S. notes, or if it is a type of cheese not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0406.90.37.00 therefore depends on the absence of specific characteristics that would place it in a more detailed subheading, and the fact that it does not meet the criteria for any explicitly defined "other" cheese categories, including those with special entry provisions. This residual classification ensures all cheeses not specifically detailed are accounted for within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
