Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 041090 when importing or exporting animal products that are edible but don't fit into other specific categories. This includes items like certain animal by-products that are not classified elsewhere, such as specific types of rendered fats or processed animal proteins.
This code is distinct from HS-6 0410XX, which covers other animal products like milk or eggs. While those products have clear classifications, HS-6 041090 is for less common edible animal products that may not be immediately recognizable in trade.
For example, if you are shipping a processed animal protein used in pet food, you would classify it under HS-6 041090. In contrast, if you were dealing with milk powder, you would use a different code under the dairy section.
When considering this code, think about the end use of the product. If it’s an edible by-product that doesn’t fit neatly into another category, HS-6 041090 is likely the right choice.
