1806.20.77.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 1806.20.77.00, specifically classifies "Other" food preparations containing cocoa that fall under the broader category of other preparations in bulk form. These are distinct from sibling categories that may have specific entry provisions or descriptions related to additional U.S. notes. The critical defining characteristic for classification here is that these preparations contain over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar, as further described in additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 17.

The goods classified under 1806.20.77.00 are typically bulk cocoa-containing products, such as large bars, slabs, or preparations in liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other bulk forms exceeding 2 kg per container. Crucially, these products must also contain more than 65 percent by weight of sugar. This subcategory is further refined by the requirement that they also meet the criteria of containing over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar, as detailed in additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 17, distinguishing them from other bulk preparations that may not meet this specific sugar content threshold or description.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on meeting the specific criteria outlined for this 1806.20.77.00 designation, particularly the nuanced sugar content requirements detailed in the referenced additional U.S. notes. Importers must carefully assess the sugar content by dry weight and ensure the product aligns with the description in additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 17 to ensure correct classification.
