0406.90.68.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0406.90.68.00, specifically covers "Other" cheeses within the broader category of "Other cheeses, and substitutes for cheese, including mixtures of the above." Crucially, it pertains to cheeses that do not contain mixtures of Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, Provolone, Provoletti, Sbrinz, or Goya made from cow's milk. This designation ensures that cheeses fitting the more specific criteria of the preceding subheadings are correctly routed, leaving this subheading for all other unmixed cheeses.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 0406.90.66.00, lies in the fulfillment of specific additional U.S. note provisions. While both are subcategories under "Other cheeses," the sibling category is reserved for goods that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 21 to Chapter 4 and are entered according to its terms. This means that 0406.90.68.00 captures all remaining "other" cheeses that do not fall under that specific, provision-dependent classification.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 0406.90.68.00 is on ensuring that a cheese product is not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings and does not contain the specified cow's milk cheeses mentioned in the parent category. This broad residual classification is essential for encompassing the wide variety of cheeses not otherwise detailed.
