About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification applies to specific cocoa preparations that are not classified as candy or confectionery for retail sale. The defining characteristic is their content of butterfat or other milk solids. These are bulk preparations, often intended for further processing or industrial use, and their inclusion of milk solids distinguishes them from simpler cocoa preparations.

The distinction from sibling categories primarily lies in the presence and quantity of milk solids. While other "Other" categories at this level might encompass preparations with different ingredient profiles or intended uses, this specific subheading focuses on those containing a notable amount of milk solids, excluding those already categorized as retail confectionery.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus remains on precisely identifying products that fit the description: bulk cocoa preparations containing milk solids but not intended for direct consumer sale as candy or confection. Examples might include unsweetened cocoa powders with added milk solids for beverage bases, or chocolate precursors used in industrial baking where milk solids are a key component.
