1901.10.36.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1901.10.36.00, encompasses "Other" food preparations suitable for infants, which do not fall under the more specific subcategory for infant formula containing oligosaccharides or the sibling category designated by additional U.S. note 2. These preparations are typically nutrient-dense products formulated to meet the specific dietary needs of infants and young children, often sold in ready-to-consume forms for retail. The scope includes items that might be variations of infant cereals, milk-based drinks, or other specialized nutritional supplements that do not fit the precise definitions of other classifications within heading 1901.

The key distinction for this "Other" category lies in its residual nature. Unlike the explicitly defined infant formula containing oligosaccharides, or preparations made pursuant to specific additional U.S. notes, this classification applies to infant food preparations that do not meet those narrower criteria. It serves as a catch-all for compliant infant food products that, while suitable for the intended consumer, lack the specific compositional or regulatory characteristics of the other listed categories at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1901.10.36.00 hinges on a thorough assessment of the product's composition, intended use, and whether it meets the general criteria of heading 1901 for food preparations derived from cereals, milk, or malt extract, specifically excluding those with significant cocoa content and ensuring they are formulated for infant consumption. The absence of subcategories means that the decision to classify here is definitive for products that do not qualify for more precisely defined classifications.
