0406.90.94.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0406.90.94.00, specifically covers "Other" cheeses and curd, with the crucial defining characteristic that these products contain 0.5 percent or less by weight of butterfat. This subcategory is designed to capture a broad range of cheese products that do not fit into more specific butterfat percentage breakdowns within the broader "Other cheeses, and substitutes for cheese" category. The low butterfat content is the primary distinguishing feature for goods falling under this heading.

To further clarify, this classification is distinct from its sibling category, 0406.90.93.00. The sibling category is reserved for specific cheeses and curd that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 23 to chapter 4 of the HTS, regardless of their butterfat content. Therefore, while both are within the "Other" cheese subheadings, 0406.90.93.00 is designated for particular cheeses with specific noted provisions, whereas 0406.90.94.00 is a catch-all for low-fat "other" cheeses.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from 0406.90.94.00. All eligible products meeting the criteria of "Other cheeses" and containing 0.5 percent or less by weight of butterfat will be classified directly under this code. Examples might include certain types of very low-fat processed cheese products or specific regional cheeses that naturally have a minimal fat content. The key takeaway is the combination of being an "other" cheese not specifically enumerated elsewhere and having a butterfat content at or below the 0.5% threshold.
