Other ingredients, depending on variety, are “mozz” flavor, color, and jalapeno flakes.

The applicable subheading for the Tofu Cheese Alternative products will be 2106.90.9998, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere specified of includedother otherother. The rate of duty will be 6.4 percent ad valorem.
