2106.90.58.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 2106.90.58.50, encompasses prepared foodstuffs of a miscellaneous edible nature that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere. Within the broader category of "Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included," and further refined to "Other" and "Other," this subcategory specifically pertains to preparations of gelatin. These are products where gelatin is a primary or significant component, contributing to their texture, consistency, or nutritional properties.

Crucially, this category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2106.90.58.30, by its *absence* of sugar derived from sugar cane or sugar beets as a primary characterizing ingredient. While other sugars or sweeteners might be present, the defining characteristic here is the gelatin base, rather than a sugar-dominant formulation. This distinction is vital for accurate tariff assignment, as the presence of specific sugars can alter the classification and duty rates.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 2106.90.58.50. Therefore, classification into this subcategory relies on the determination that a product is a gelatin preparation, is not elsewhere specified, and does not fall under the sugar-derived sibling. Practical examples might include certain gelatin-based desserts, supplements in gelatin capsules not otherwise classified, or gelatinous confectionery where sugar is not the principal constituent and the product is intended for retail sale.
