1806.20.95.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS subheading encompasses a specific category of cocoa preparations that are not elsewhere specified within heading 1806. The primary defining characteristic is that these products are described in additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 and are entered into the U.S. commerce pursuant to the provisions of that note. This typically relates to certain types of cocoa products that may have particular sugar content or other ingredient specifications that bring them under this special provision.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1806.20.98.00, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" preparations in bulk form, 1806.20.95.00 is specifically designated by its compliance with additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17. This means that if a product meets the specific criteria outlined in that note, it will be classified here, rather than under the more general "Other" category. Therefore, the specific referencing of the additional U.S. note is the key differentiating factor.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is final, and the determining factor for inclusion is the explicit reference to additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17. Importers must carefully review the provisions of this note to ensure accurate classification of their cocoa-containing products that are in bulk form and meet the specified criteria.
