2106.90.58 - Of gelatin

This HTS category, 2106.90.58, specifically encompasses miscellaneous edible preparations that are "Of gelatin." This designation signifies that gelatin is a primary or significant characterizing ingredient in these food preparations. These items are typically used in confectionery, desserts, or other food products where gelatin provides gelling, stabilizing, or texturizing properties. The key classification criterion here is the presence and functional importance of gelatin as a constituent.

This classification is distinct from other "Other" subcategories within chapter 2106.90. While other categories at this level might cover a broad range of edible preparations not specified elsewhere, the "Of gelatin" designation creates a specific niche, isolating products where gelatin is the defining component. It differentiates from preparations where gelatin might be a minor ingredient or absent altogether.

The subcategories under this node further refine the classification based on the packaging and intended use. "Put up for retail sale" covers products packaged for direct consumer purchase, often in smaller quantities for home use. The "Other" subcategory within this level would encompass gelatin-based edible preparations not packaged for individual retail sale, such as bulk ingredients for industrial food manufacturing.
