0407.21.00.30 - Fresh table eggs (consumer grades)

This HTS classification covers fresh table eggs specifically intended for consumption, which are graded for retail sale. These are whole eggs, still in their shells, sourced from domestic fowl. The "consumer grades" designation indicates that these eggs have undergone sorting and evaluation based on established quality and size standards for direct sale to end-users.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0407.21.00.90, which is designated for "Other" fresh eggs of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus. While both fall under the umbrella of fresh eggs from domestic fowl, 0407.21.00.30 is narrowly defined for consumer-ready, graded eggs, implying a higher degree of inspection and packaging for the retail market. The "Other" category would encompass any fresh eggs from domestic fowl that do not meet the specific criteria for consumer grades.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive at this level, meaning that any fresh table eggs from fowls of the species Gallus domesticus that are sorted and graded for consumer use will fall under this specific HTS code. The key differentiating factor remains the "consumer grades" aspect, distinguishing them from eggs intended for industrial processing or other non-retail uses.
