0406.90.84.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 0406.90.84.00, covers "Other" cheeses and curd that do not fall under more specific classifications within heading 0406. It specifically includes cheeses that contain or are processed from American-type cheese, such as Colby, washed curd, and granular cheese. Crucially, it excludes Cheddar cheese, which is classified elsewhere. This category is a catch-all for a variety of other cheese types and mixtures that do not meet the criteria of more precisely defined subheadings.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 0406.90.82.00, which covers goods meeting specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 19 to chapter 4. Therefore, for goods falling under subheading 0406.90.84.00, the primary determinant is whether they are a type of cheese or curd, are "other" than those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, and if they are American-type cheese-based, they must not be Cheddar.

As this subheading is a leaf node, it does not contain further subcategories. Classification within 0406.90.84.00 is generally determined by the composition of the cheese, its processing method, and its exclusion from more specific American-type cheese classifications within this chapter. Examples of cheeses that might fall here include certain processed cheese products derived from American-type varieties, provided they do not meet the strict requirements of other subheadings.
