1806.90.55.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification pertains to a specific subset of "Other" food preparations containing cocoa. Specifically, it covers articles that contain over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar and are further defined by Additional U.S. Note 3 to Chapter 17. These goods are recognized as distinct under the provisions of this note and are entered accordingly. The "Additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17" reference in the description is crucial for understanding the precise composition and qualifying characteristics of the merchandise.

Within the broader category of "Other" food preparations containing cocoa (1806.90), this subheading is distinguished from its sibling, 1806.90.59.00, which is also categorized as "Other." While both are subheadings for unspecified cocoa preparations, this particular classification is reserved for those meeting the specific sugar content criteria outlined in Additional U.S. Note 3 to Chapter 17. The sibling category likely encompasses other cocoa-containing products not meeting these precise sugar and additional note requirements.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 1806.90.55.00 relies entirely on meeting the criteria described in the heading and its associated Additional U.S. Notes. Importers must carefully verify that their products contain over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar and are explicitly covered by the provisions of Additional U.S. Note 3 to Chapter 17 to ensure correct classification.
