2106.90.97.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 2106.90.97.00, designates "Other" food preparations within the broader category of miscellaneous edible preparations. It specifically applies to articles that contain more than 10 percent by dry weight of sugar, as further defined by Additional U.S. Note 3 to Chapter 17 of the HTSUS. This note establishes specific criteria for sugar content and related product characteristics that determine eligibility for this classification.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 2106.90.95.00, which is reserved for goods described in Additional U.S. Note 8 to Chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its specific provisions. The key differentiator lies in the operative Additional U.S. Note referenced, meaning that 2106.90.97.00 applies to sugar-containing preparations that do not meet the specific requirements of Note 8, but nonetheless exceed the 10 percent dry weight sugar threshold outlined in Note 3.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 2106.90.97.00 requires a thorough analysis of the product's composition, specifically its dry weight sugar content. Examples of goods that might fall under this classification, assuming they meet the sugar content requirements and are not otherwise classified, include certain confectioneries, sweetened baked goods, or processed fruits with significant sugar additions, provided they do not fit into more specific HTSUS provisions.
