Cheese Not Elsewhere Specified, Including Cheddar and Colby

Parmesan (Reggiano) and Romano are specifically named together in line 0406904300, which covers Romano, Reggiano, Parmesan, and Provolone cheeses not elsewhere specified. If the shipment qualifies under Additional US Note 21 for Italian-type cow's milk cheese, line 0406904100 may apply instead. The correct line depends on the cheese type, milk source, and whether the volume falls within the applicable TRQ. A licensed customs broker should review the entry given the number of overlapping Italian-type lines.

Bryndza is a soft, brined sheep's or mixed-milk cheese originating in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Slovakia and Poland. It has its own dedicated 10-digit line, 0406900500, within heading 0406.90. Unlike most other cheeses in this heading, Bryndza is not subject to a TRQ basket tied to an Additional US Note, though standard dairy import requirements — including FSIS reinspection — still apply.
