2202.99.28.00 - Other

This HTS category, 2202.99.28.00, encompasses "Other" non-alcoholic beverages that fall under the broader heading of "Other" milk-based drinks not specifically classified elsewhere within 2202.99.24.00 or 2202.99.22.00. This classification is for milk-based beverages that do not meet the specific criteria of those preceding subheadings, indicating a residual category for a variety of milk-derived drinks that are flavored, sweetened, or otherwise modified for consumption.

Unlike its sibling categories, 2202.99.28.00 does not require the beverage to meet specific general or additional U.S. tariff notes related to milk product provisions. Instead, it captures milk-based beverages that are not otherwise distinguished. Examples within this category could include flavored milk drinks with ingredients beyond simple sugar or sweetening matter, or those with a complex formulation that places them outside of more precisely defined subcategories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this particular HTS code. Therefore, classification into 2202.99.28.00 hinges on a careful review of the beverage's composition and formulation to ensure it is indeed a milk-based drink and does not qualify for any of the more specific classifications available at the same level or higher within Chapter 22.
