  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\n‘Pasta filata’ type cheese in block form made by adding rennin and thermophilic bacteria (e.g. Streptococcus thermophilus) to milk. The whey is separated after curdling. The curd is then heated to about 80 °C. The curd is kneaded and stretched to give it a stringy texture. The product is then divided into the requisite sizes (1 to 3 kg) and salted.\nThe cheese is wrapped in ripening film and stored after its manufacture for one to two weeks at a low temperature (2 to 4 °C).\nThe composition of the cheese is (% by weight):\ndry matter\n54,2\ntotal fat\n23,3\nfat content in the dry matter\n43,0\nwater content in the fat-free matter\n59,7\nThe cheese has a mild, buttery, slightly salty flavour. It is used, inter alia, as cheese for pizzas.\n0406 10 20\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 on the interpretation of the CN and the wording of CN codes 0406, 0406 10 and 0406 10 20.\nThe product has the objective characteristics and properties, in particular with regard to its composition, appearance and taste of a fresh cheese and can be consumed shortly after its manufacture (Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to headings 0406, first paragraph, item 1).\nIt cannot therefore be classified in CN subheading 0406 90 which refers to ‘other cheese’ than those mentioned in the preceding subheadings.",
