0406.90.61.00 - Containing Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz or Goya, all the foregoing made from cow's milk

This HTS category, 0406.90.61.00, specifically classifies "Other cheeses" which contain Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz, or Goya, provided these cheeses are made exclusively from cow's milk. This detailed description ensures that cheeses meeting these precise criteria, regardless of their specific form (e.g., grated, block, shredded) or packaging, are correctly identified for customs purposes. The inclusion of specific, well-known cheese names highlights the intent to capture these particular varieties within this subcategory.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0406.90.63.00 ("Other"), which covers all other cheeses not specifically named or described in 0406.90.61.00. Therefore, if a cheese is not one of the specified varieties (Romano, Reggiano, etc.) or is made from milk other than cow's milk, it would fall under the broader "Other" category. This distinction hinges on the precise composition and origin of the milk used, as well as the specific type of cheese.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive at this level, relying entirely on the presence of the listed cow's milk cheeses and the exclusion of any other types of cheese or mixtures not conforming to these specific parameters. Classification professionals should carefully verify the ingredient list and country of origin documentation to ensure accurate application of this code.
