1901.10.49.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 1901.10.49.00, pertains to "Other" preparations suitable for infants or young children, specifically those categorized as "Other" within the "Preparations suitable for infants, put up for retail sale" heading. It encompasses food preparations designed for infant consumption that do not fall into more specific subcategories. These products are typically formulated to be nutritionally complete or complementary for infants and are presented in packaging ready for direct purchase by consumers.

The "Other" designation signifies that these preparations do not fit into previously defined subcategories, such as those based on specific ingredients like dairy products or cereals that might have been classified elsewhere within the broader category of infant preparations. Unlike sibling categories that might specify a particular composition or purpose, this classification acts as a residual category for infant food preparations that meet the general criteria but lack the specific characteristics to be placed in more narrowly defined classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on the exclusionary criteria established by the parent headings. Importers must ensure that the product is indeed suitable for infants, is prepared for retail sale, and does not meet the criteria for any more specific classifications under heading 1901 to be correctly classified under 1901.10.49.00. This often involves examining the product's formulation, intended use, and presentation.
