Use HS-6 040811 when importing or exporting dried bird egg yolks, which may contain added sugar or sweeteners. For example, if you're shipping a bulk order of dried egg yolk powder for use in baking or food manufacturing, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers dried egg yolks, distinguishing them from other products like fresh eggs or whole dried eggs. If you’re dealing with whole dried eggs, you would use HS-6 040812 instead, which is a related line under the same heading.
