0410 — Animal products; insects and other edible products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included
Chapter 04: Dairy produce; birds' eggs; natural honey
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0410 when importing or exporting animal products, including insects and other edible items not classified elsewhere. For example, if you're shipping dried crickets for human consumption, this heading applies.
When deciding between HS-6 041010 for insects and HS-6 041090 for other animal products, consider the primary nature of your goods. If your shipment consists of edible insects, use 041010; otherwise, choose 041090 for items like gelatin or other unspecified animal-derived products.
If your product is a mix of animal-derived ingredients, such as a protein powder containing both insects and other animal products, carefully evaluate the composition to determine the appropriate subheading. The classification hinges on the predominant ingredient.
