Overview

This HTS category, 1901.20.55.00, specifically covers food preparations classified as mixes and doughs for bakers' wares that contain over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar.

While other "Other" subcategories exist within heading 1901.20, this specific code is distinguished by the quantitative sugar threshold and the reference to Additional U.S. Note 7.

The focus is on preparations where sugar is a predominant component, impacting texture, preservation, and intended use in baking.
