1806.20.81.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, HTS Code 1806.20.81.00, pertains to specific food preparations containing cocoa that meet stringent criteria beyond basic chocolate products. It is reserved for preparations that are either in bulk forms (liquid, paste, powder, granular) or in large blocks, slabs, or bars exceeding 2 kilograms, and importantly, which are also classified as dairy products under additional U.S. note 1 to chapter 4. This ensures that only a precise subset of cocoa-containing bulk goods that also possess significant dairy characteristics are included here.

The distinction of this code lies in its dual requirement: it must be a cocoa preparation in bulk or large format, AND it must also meet the specific dairy product definitions outlined in the additional U.S. notes. This differentiates it from other "Other" categories within 1806.20.81 which might be bulk cocoa preparations but without the specific dairy classification, or those that are not in bulk/large formats. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that there are no further subdivisions or specific types of these dual-classified goods.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The classification is precise and final for goods meeting all stipulated requirements. Examples of products falling under this code would be large bulk containers of cocoa-flavored milk powder intended for further processing, or substantial bars of chocolate with significant dairy content and exceeding the 2 kg threshold, which are explicitly designated as dairy products under the relevant U.S. notes. The classification hinges on adhering to both the cocoa preparation requirements and the specific dairy product criteria.
