2309.90.22.90 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS 2309.90.22.90, specifically covers "Other" preparations used in animal feeding that meet very precise criteria. It falls under the broader category of animal feeds containing milk or milk derivatives, and further narrows down to those containing over 10 percent by weight of milk solids. The key distinguishing factor for this sub-heading is that the products must be described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions. This typically refers to specialized milk-based feed formulations that have specific regulatory approvals or fulfill particular import requirements outlined in that general note.

In contrast to its sibling category, 2309.90.22.10, which exclusively covers "Milk replacer," this sub-heading is for milk-derived animal feeds that are not classified as standard milk replacers but still meet the stipulated conditions of general note 15. The distinction lies in the precise formulation, intended use, and the specific regulatory framework under which they are imported. While both are milk-based and fall under similar broader categories, this classification is reserved for those that align with the specific directives and provisions mentioned in general note 15.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 2309.90.22.90 is on meticulously verifying that the product aligns with the detailed description and conditions stipulated within general note 15 of the tariff schedule. Importers must ensure their documentation and product composition fully meet these specific requirements for accurate customs clearance.
