0406.90.78.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS subheading, 0406.90.78.00, covers "Other" cheeses and substitutes for cheese, including mixtures, that contain or are processed from Cheddar cheese. This classification applies to a wide array of cheese products that do not fit into more specific categories within the "Other cheese" grouping. The key defining characteristic is the presence or origin of Cheddar cheese as a component or processing element, provided the goods do not fall under the specific exclusions for mixtures containing subheadings 0406.90.61 or 0406.90.63.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0406.90.76.00, which specifically covers cheeses described in additional U.S. note 18 to chapter 4 and entered according to its provisions. The current subheading, 0406.90.78.00, is for all other Cheddar-containing or Cheddar-derived cheese products not meeting those specific entry requirements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this subheading requires a careful review of the product's composition and processing to ensure it meets the criteria of containing or being processed from Cheddar cheese while not falling under any other more specific heading or subheading, particularly the excluded mixtures. Examples might include certain processed cheese products where Cheddar is a primary ingredient but the final product is a unique formulation, or cheeses that have undergone specific processing steps involving Cheddar.
