0406.90.92.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0406.90.92.00, encompasses a broad range of "other" cheeses and cheese substitutes that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the "Other cheeses" category. This includes a wide variety of cheeses that are not Swiss, Emmentaler, or Gruyere-process, as well as mixtures containing such cheeses. Importantly, this category excludes goods that contain mixtures of subheadings 0406.90.61 or 0406.90.63, which are handled separately.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0406.90.90.00, is crucial. While both fall under "Other," 0406.90.90.00 is reserved for specific cheeses that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 22 to Chapter 4 and are entered in accordance with those provisions. Therefore, 0406.90.92.00 serves as a residual category for all other cheeses and cheese substitutes not specifically addressed by the sibling subheading or any preceding subheadings within 0406.90.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 0406.90.92.00. Classification within this subheading relies on determining that the product is indeed cheese or a substitute thereof, and that it does not qualify for any more specific designation, particularly by excluding those with specific Swiss, Emmentaler, or Gruyere-process components as defined in prior subheadings, nor those covered by the specific provisions of its sibling.
