About heading 0402

Milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

Heading 0402 covers milk and cream that has been concentrated (dried into powder or granules, evaporated, or condensed) or that contains added sugar or other sweetener. The heading splits first by form, powder or other solid forms against all other forms, then by fat content by weight, then by whether sugar or sweetener was added, and finally by whether the goods enter under a quota provision such as general note 15 or an additional U.S. note to chapter 4, or fall in the residual Other line. Rates range from a few cents per kilogram on quota lines to over a dollar per kilogram plus a percentage on the residual lines.
