1901.90.20.00 - Solid or condensed 🖩

This HTS category, 1901.90.20.00, specifically classifies **solid or condensed** food preparations that fall under heading 1901, but are not further enumerated in preceding subheadings. This includes preparations derived from malt extract, flour, groats, meal, or starch, or from goods of headings 0401 to 0404, provided they meet the cocoa content thresholds and are not elsewhere specified. Examples include malted milk powders, solid infant formulas, and certain biscuit mixes that do not contain significant amounts of cocoa.

The critical distinguishing factor for this category is the **physical form** of the product. It directly contrasts with its sibling category, 1901.90.10.00, which covers **fluid** preparations. Therefore, a preparation that is liquid or has a liquid consistency would be classified under the fluid category, while the same preparation in a dehydrated, powdered, granular, or semi-solid (condensed) state would fall under this "solid or condensed" classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 1901.90.20.00 is determined by the absence of specific enumerations at lower levels for solid or condensed preparations within the broader scope of heading 1901. Importers and exporters should carefully assess the physical state of their goods and ensure they do not meet the criteria for any preceding, more specific subheadings within Chapter 19.
