- What is HTS code 0406?
- HTS heading 0406 covers cheese and curd. It sits in Chapter 04 (dairy, eggs and honey) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 156 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 0406?
- General duty rates from 2.7% to 25%, with 2 duty-free lines; 51 lines carry a specific or compound duty. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
