Overview

This category, HTS 0406.90.49.00, specifically designates "Gammelost and Nokkelost cheeses." These are particular types of Norwegian cheese, often characterized by their strong, pungent flavor and crumbly texture, with Gammelost being a fermented cheese and Nokkelost a spiced variety. They fall under the broader heading of "Other cheese" which encompasses all cheeses not specifically enumerated in earlier subheadings within 0406.

Unlike its sibling categories such as Bryndza, Cheddar, Edam, Gouda, or Gjetost, Gammelost and Nokkelost are distinguished by their unique production methods, distinctive flavor profiles, and traditional origins. While other subheadings might detail cheeses by country of origin, fat content, or specific production processes, this subheading isolates these two particular Norwegian cheese types.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, accurate classification hinges on confirming the product is indeed Gammelost or Nokkelost, based on its declared composition, production method, and country of origin, aligning with established customs definitions for these specific cheese varieties.
