It splits first by use: preparations for infants or young children put up for retail sale, mixes and doughs for bakers' wares of heading 1905, and a residual Other group that holds malt extract, puddings and dairy or sugar-based blends.

How to choose the right subheading
- Who the product is for and whether it is put up for retail sale: infants, young children, or general use.
- Milk solids content: preparations containing over 10% by weight of milk solids take separate lines.
- Whether the goods are dairy products described in additional U.S. note 1 to chapter 4, which routes them to the chapter 4 note 10 lines.
- For mixes and doughs, whether butterfat exceeds 25% by weight.
- Sugar content: over 10% or over 65% by dry weight of sugar triggers chapter 17 note lines.
