Sourcing this category from India
HS 0406.90 covers Dairy produce; cheese (not grated, powdered or processed), n.e.c. in heading no. 0406. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is the world's largest milk producer and exports milk powder, ghee, casein and natural honey to Gulf and Asian markets.
How to read this code
0406.90 is the six-digit HS subheading. Your destination country extends it to 8–10 digits and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty for many goods — check our import guides for your market.
