1806.20.82.00 - Containing less than 21 percent by weight of milk solids

This HTS classification pertains to a specific subset of chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa. It specifically covers products that are in a bulk form, such as liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other forms, and are packaged in containers or immediate packings exceeding 2 kilograms. Crucially, these preparations must contain less than 21 percent by weight of milk solids. This criterion is essential for distinguishing these goods from those with a higher milk solid content.

Within the "Other" category at this level, 1806.20.82.00 is distinguished from its sibling, 1806.20.83.00, by its specific milk solids content. While both fall under "Other" preparations in bulk form weighing over 2kg, this code targets those with a lower percentage of milk solids. This distinction is important for tariff rate determination and compliance with specific trade regulations.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on the precise definition of the product's form, packaging size, and most importantly, its milk solids content. Examples of products that would fall under this classification include large industrial batches of cocoa powder or chocolate paste intended for further processing, provided they meet the specified milk solids threshold.
