1806.90.30.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers "Other" food preparations containing cocoa, specifically those not falling under more specific descriptions within heading 1806. Crucially, this subcategory applies to articles containing butterfat or other milk solids, but explicitly excludes those intended for retail sale as candy or confectionery. This distinction is vital for accurate classification, ensuring that products like certain cocoa-based beverages, puddings, or baking ingredients with significant milk solids are correctly categorized.

The primary distinction for 1806.90.30.00 lies in its exclusion of retail candy and confectionery. While it shares the broad "containing butterfat or other milk solids" characteristic with some sibling categories, the intended end-use for consumption as candy or confectionary separates them. This subcategory focuses on other forms of food preparations where cocoa and milk solids are key ingredients, but the final product is not typically packaged or marketed as a standalone sweet treat for immediate consumption.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 1806.90.30.00 relies on meeting all the preceding criteria within heading 1806, specifically: being a food preparation containing cocoa, not otherwise specified, containing butterfat or other milk solids, and not being intended for retail sale as candy or confectionery. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the composition and intended market presentation of their goods to ensure correct classification.
