1806.20.73.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1806.20.73.00, covers "Other" food preparations containing cocoa that are presented in bulk forms. Specifically, it applies to products that are not shaped into blocks, slabs, or bars weighing more than 2 kg, but instead are in liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other bulk forms. These bulk preparations must be contained within containers or immediate packings with a net content exceeding 2 kg. The defining characteristic of this category is its broad scope for cocoa-containing products not otherwise specified in more granular subheadings.

This particular subheading differentiates itself from its sibling, 1806.20.71.00, by its lack of specific reference to additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17. While both fall under the umbrella of "Other" preparations in bulk, 1806.20.71.00 is reserved for goods meeting the precise requirements of that specific note, often related to certain sugar content criteria and preferential entry. Therefore, 1806.20.73.00 serves as a residual classification for bulk cocoa preparations that do not qualify for the more narrowly defined sibling category.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. All goods meeting the criteria of containing cocoa, being in bulk form exceeding 2 kg per container, and not specifically provided for elsewhere within heading 1806, will be classified here. Examples might include large tubs of chocolate syrup intended for industrial use, bulk bags of cocoa powder not intended for direct retail sale in smaller packages, or large containers of chocolate paste for confectionary manufacturing. The key is the presentation in bulk and exceeding the 2 kg threshold per immediate packing.
