1806.20.94.00 - Other 🖩

HTS 1806.20.94.00 encompasses "Other" food preparations containing cocoa, specifically those in bulk form exceeding 2 kg, that do not fit into the more specific subcategories within 1806.20. This category serves as a residual for bulk cocoa preparations where the preceding classifications do not apply. The key defining characteristic for this sub-item is the absence of specific descriptive notes or conditions that would place it under a sibling category.

Distinguishing this classification from its sibling, 1806.20.91.00, is crucial. The sibling category is specifically reserved for blended syrups described in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17 that are entered pursuant to its provisions. Therefore, HTS 1806.20.94.00 applies to all other bulk cocoa preparations exceeding 2 kg that are not these specified blended syrups. This means that if a bulk cocoa preparation is not a blended syrup as defined by the additional U.S. note, and it also doesn't qualify for any more granular subheadings under 1806.20, it will fall under this residual "Other" classification.

As HTS 1806.20.94.00 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires careful consideration of the general provisions for bulk cocoa preparations and the exclusion criteria outlined by the specific sibling category. Importers and customs brokers must ensure that the product definitively does not meet the criteria for any more specific classification before assigning it to this "Other" designation.
