1806.31.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, "Other, in blocks, slabs or bars: Filled," encompasses chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa that are presented in solid forms such as blocks, slabs, or bars, and importantly, contain a filling. The defining characteristic of goods classified here is the presence of a distinct inner filling, which can consist of various ingredients like creams, fruits, nuts, liqueurs, or nougat, enclosed within the outer chocolate or cocoa preparation.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Confectionery," is crucial. While both may involve chocolate, this specific category pertains to chocolate *in blocks, slabs or bars* with a filling. The sibling "Confectionery" is a broader term that could encompass a wider array of chocolate-based sweets presented in various forms, not necessarily restricted to the defined shapes or necessarily filled. The "filled" aspect is key to distinguishing this subcategory.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1806.31.00.80 hinges on confirming that the product is indeed a chocolate or cocoa preparation in blocks, slabs, or bars, and that it possesses an identifiable filling. The specific nature of the filling is generally not determinative for this level of classification, as long as a filling is present and the item is presented in the specified forms.
