1901.10.31.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions 🖩

This HTS classification (1901.10.31.00) covers specific food preparations suitable for infants, falling under the broader category of preparations of flour, malt extract, or milk. These are prepared formulations designed to provide nutritional sustenance for infants, typically in a readily digestible and safe form. The "Other" designation indicates that these preparations do not fit into more specific sub-classifications that might exist for certain types of infant food (e.g., those with specific pharmaceutical or therapeutic claims, or particular grain bases if a more granular breakdown were present).

Within the context of infant food preparations, this specific classification is the final level of detail, meaning it is a leaf node with no further subdivisions. Therefore, it encompasses all such infant preparations that do not qualify for any more specific HTS codes under heading 1901. The critical factor for classification here is the intended end-user (infants) and the presentation (put up for retail sale), along with the absence of cocoa in quantities that would shift it to a different classification.

The preparations classified here are typically ready-to-eat or easily reconstituted, often based on cereals, dairy, or vegetable components, fortified with vitamins and minerals essential for infant growth. They are distinguished from general food preparations by their specific formulation and intended use for infants. Due to the absence of subcategories, the classification hinges on meeting the general criteria for infant food and not falling under any other more narrowly defined HTS provision.
