0406.90.52.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 19 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 0406.90.52.00, specifically covers "Other cheese" that meets the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 19 to Chapter 4. This designation implies a specific set of qualifying conditions or characteristics that distinguish these cheeses from others within the broader "Other cheese" classification. The inclusion of "entered pursuant to its provisions" indicates that the importer must demonstrate compliance with the requirements set forth in that particular U.S. note.

To properly classify goods under this heading, it is crucial to differentiate them from their siblings. The sibling category 0406.90.51.00 covers "Other cheese" that is described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered accordingly, suggesting a different set of qualifying parameters. Furthermore, the sibling category 0406.90.54.00 encompasses all other "Other cheese" not specifically defined by notes 19 or 15, indicating a residual category for cheeses that do not meet the specific provisions of the preceding subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision for goods falling under 0406.90.52.00 hinges entirely on whether they precisely align with the stipulations of additional U.S. note 19 to Chapter 4. Importers must carefully review the specific requirements of this note, which may pertain to factors such as production methods, fat content, moisture levels, aging processes, or intended use, to ensure accurate classification.
