1806.20.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 1806.20.50.00, encompasses "Other" food preparations containing cocoa that meet specific bulk form and ingredient criteria. Specifically, it covers preparations in blocks, slabs, or bars exceeding 2 kg, or in liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other bulk forms in containers or immediate packings of over 2 kg. The crucial defining characteristic for this "Other" subcategory is that the preparations consist wholly of ground cocoa beans, potentially with added cocoa fat, flavoring, or emulsifying agents. Furthermore, these preparations must contain no more than 32 percent by weight of butterfat or other milk solids, and not more than 60 percent by weight of sugar.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, which covers preparations containing butterfat or other milk solids, excluding those intended for retail sale as candy or confection. The "Other" designation here signifies preparations that, while containing ground cocoa beans and potentially other specified ingredients, are characterized by a lower milk solid content and a specific sugar limit, distinguishing them from more milk-inclusive cocoa preparations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on ensuring that goods precisely match the descriptive criteria outlined above. Importers and exporters should carefully review the precise composition, particularly the percentages of milk solids and sugar, to ensure accurate classification under 1806.20.50.00.
