0406.90.59.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0406.90.59.00, encompasses "Other" cheeses and substitutes for cheese that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within the broader category of "Other cheese." This includes a wide array of cheese products made from sheep's milk that do not fall into the more specific categories of Pecorino or cheeses in original loaves suitable for grating. The scope here is broad, covering various forms, processing methods, and intended uses beyond those explicitly detailed.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS Code 0406.90.56.00 specifically covers sheep's milk cheeses presented in their original loaves and intended for grating. Similarly, HTS Code 0406.90.57.00 identifies Pecorino cheese, also in its original loaves but not necessarily suitable for grating. Therefore, 0406.90.59.00 serves as a residual category for sheep's milk cheeses that do not meet these specific criteria, such as pre-grated sheep's milk cheese, cheeses in forms other than original loaves, or those with unique processing that sets them apart from the more narrowly defined sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS Code 0406.90.59.00. Classification into this specific code relies on excluding the product from all preceding, more specific classifications within Chapter 4, particularly those within heading 0406 concerning cheese and curd, and within the "Other cheese" and "Cheeses made from sheep's milk" subheadings. The key determinant for inclusion here is that the product is a sheep's milk cheese or a substitute thereof, and does not fit any of the more granular descriptions provided by the sibling categories.
