1806.32.06.00 - Containing less than 21 percent by weight of milk solids

This HTS classification, 1806.32.06.00, specifically covers "other" preparations that are in blocks, slabs, or bars, and contain cocoa. These preparations are distinct from candy or confectionery intended for retail sale and are characterized by a milk solids content of less than 21 percent by weight. The underlying classification framework at this level focuses on preparations consisting wholly of ground cocoa beans, with specific limitations on butterfat, other milk solids, and sugar content.

This particular subheading differentiates itself from its sibling category, 1806.32.08.00, by the specific criteria related to milk solids. While both fall under "Other" within the broader "Containing butterfat or other milk solids" segment, 1806.32.06.00 applies to those with a milk solids concentration below the 21% threshold, whereas the sibling category likely encompasses preparations with higher percentages or different formulations not meeting the specific criteria here.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, accurate classification hinges on a precise determination of the milk solids content by weight. Examples of products that might fall under this classification include certain forms of unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate preparations where the milk component is intentionally limited, and these are not packaged or presented as finished confectionery for direct consumer purchase as candy.
