2102.20.60.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2102.20.60.00, specifically covers "Other" inactive yeasts and dead single-cell microorganisms. This category serves as a residual for all inactive yeasts and dead single-cell organisms not explicitly detailed under preceding subheadings within 2102.20. This can include various types of inactive yeasts and microorganisms used in a wide array of industrial, food, and agricultural applications where their biological activity is not required for the intended use.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note that 2102.20.20.00 specifically covers inactive yeasts *except* dried brewers' yeast, while 2102.20.40.00 is dedicated to crude dried brewers' yeast. Therefore, 2102.20.60.00 is intended for inactive yeasts and dead single-cell microorganisms that do not fall into these more specific categories, such as certain specialized inactive yeast strains or other dead microbial cultures used for non-fermentation purposes or as ingredients.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 2102.20.60.00. Classification within this subheading relies on the fact that the product is an inactive yeast or a dead single-cell microorganism and does not fit the more narrowly defined categories of active yeasts, dried brewers' yeast, or vaccines (which are classified under heading 3002). The primary classification determinant here is the absence of biological activity in the yeast or microorganism and its exclusion from more specific enumerations within the broader heading.
