1901.90.91.95 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS 1901.90.91.95, encompasses "Other" food preparations that fall under the broader heading of preparations of cereals, flour, starch, or milk. Specifically, it includes food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, which do not contain cocoa or contain less than 40% by weight of cocoa (calculated on a totally defatted basis). It also covers food preparations of goods of headings 0401 to 0404 (milk and cream, etc.), provided they contain less than 5% by weight of cocoa (calculated on a totally defatted basis) and are not elsewhere specified or included. This classification serves as a residual category for items that meet the general criteria of Chapter 19 but do not fit into more specific subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 1901.90.91.82 (Corn-soya milk blends) and 1901.90.91.85 (Wheat-flour-soya blends), is crucial. Those sibling categories specifically identify blends based on corn and soya or wheat and soya intended for particular uses, often nutritional supplements or specialized food bases. HTS 1901.90.91.95, conversely, is for any other preparation within heading 1901 that does not qualify for these more precisely defined categories. The key differentiator lies in the absence of specific ingredient compositions or intended primary uses that would lead to classification under a more specific sibling.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within HTS 1901.90.91.95 is determined by exclusion from more specific provisions and by meeting the general requirements of heading 1901, focusing on the absence of cocoa above the specified thresholds and the lack of classification under more narrowly defined food preparations within this chapter. Importers should ensure that the product does not meet the criteria for any other subheading before classifying it under this residual "Other" category.
