1806.20.83.00 - Other

This HTS classification covers chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa, specifically those in bulk form or large packages exceeding 2 kg, and which are further categorized as "other" preparations not specifically enumerated under preceding subheadings. The key characteristic is the preparation's form, such as liquid, paste, powder, granular, or other bulk states, packaged in containers or immediate packings of a net weight exceeding 2 kg. These products are distinct from finished bars or blocks of chocolate that weigh more than 2 kg, which would fall under a different subheading.

This particular subheading, 1806.20.83.00, is reached after a series of "other" classifications, indicating it represents residual products within the broader "other preparations in bulk" category that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications. It is critical to differentiate this from its sibling category, 1806.20.82.00, which specifically covers preparations containing *less than 21 percent by weight of milk solids*. Therefore, 1806.20.83.00 applies to preparations that contain *21 percent or more by weight of milk solids* when classified under the specific note for dairy products within Chapter 18.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level hinges on the detailed textual descriptions and the specific content of milk solids. Importers must carefully review the composition of their cocoa-containing preparations in bulk form to ensure they are correctly assigned to this subheading, particularly when dairy content reaches or exceeds the 21 percent threshold, distinguishing it from preparations with lower milk solid percentages.
