Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 021093 when importing or exporting salted, dried, or smoked meat from reptiles, such as snake or turtle. For instance, if you're shipping dried snake meat for culinary use, this is the correct code to use.
This code specifically covers reptile meat products, distinguishing them from other meats like beef or pork, which fall under different subheadings. For example, HS-6 021090 covers salted or dried meat from other animals.
If you're dealing with edible flours or meals made from reptile meat, this code also applies. This could include products like snake meal used in specialty pet foods or culinary dishes.
