2106.90.94.00 - Other

This HTS code, 2106.90.94.00, falls under the broad category of "Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included." Specifically, it designates "Other" preparations that contain over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar, as described in additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17. This category is intended for a residual group of sugar-based food preparations that do not fit into more specific subheadings within chapter 21 or the preceding chapters. Examples could include certain types of sugar confectionery, specialty syrups, or sweetened food bases where the primary component is sugar and they are not otherwise classified.

The distinction from its sibling category, 2106.90.92.00, lies in the specific reference within additional U.S. notes. While both relate to sugar content, 2106.90.92.00 is reserved for articles described in additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions, implying a more specialized set of criteria or specific import authorizations tied to that note. This current code, 2106.90.94.00, encompasses a wider range of sugar-rich preparations not covered by that more specific sibling.

As a leaf node, this HTS code does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this subheading requires careful consideration of all preceding notes and descriptions within chapter 21, particularly regarding the sugar content threshold and the exclusion of goods classifiable elsewhere. Importers must ensure that the product meets the "over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar" requirement and that it is not more appropriately classified under other headings or subheadings that provide for more specific food preparations.
