Overview
This HTS category, 1806.20, encompasses a broad range of cocoa-containing food preparations presented in bulk forms, rather than individual confectionery items. Specifically, it covers goods in blocks, slabs, or bars exceeding 2 kilograms in weight, or those in liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other bulk forms, all packaged in containers or immediate packings with a net content greater than 2 kilograms. This classification is distinct from 1806.10, which specifically addresses cocoa powder with added sugar, and the "other" categories under 1806.90 that typically refer to finished confectionery products or other less defined preparations. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is the substantial size or bulk packaging, indicating a product intended for further processing or large-scale consumption rather than immediate individual sale.
The subcategories within 1806.20 provide further refinement for these bulk cocoa preparations. The first delves into preparations consisting wholly of ground cocoa beans, with or without added cocoa fat, flavoring, or emulsifying agents, but subject to specific limitations on milk solids (not more than 32%) and sugar content (not more than 60%). This distinction allows for the classification of products akin to unsweetened or lightly sweetened chocolate liquor. Following this is the specific classification 1806.20.60.00, which designates confectioners' coatings and other non-confectionery products that meet precise compositional requirements regarding non-fat cocoa bean nib solids and vegetable fats. The final "other" subcategory serves as a residual for any bulk cocoa preparations that do not fit into the more specific subdivisions.
