About heading 0403
Yogurt; buttermilk, curdled milk and cream, kephir and other fermented or acidified milk and cream, whether or not concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavored or containing added fruit, nuts or cocoa
Heading 0403 covers yogurt, buttermilk, curdled milk and cream, kephir and other fermented or acidified milk and cream, whether or not concentrated, sweetened, flavored or containing fruit, nuts or cocoa. It splits first between yogurt in 0403.20 and all other products in 0403.90. Within 0403.90 the break is by product type (sour cream, buttermilk, fermented milk), then fluid versus dried, then butterfat content, with separate lines for goods entered under the quota-style notes of the tariff schedule.
