0407.21.00.90 - Other 🖩

This classification pertains to fresh eggs in their shells, specifically those of fowls of the species *Gallus domesticus* (domestic chickens), which do not meet the criteria for classification as "fresh table eggs (consumer grades)." This typically includes eggs intended for purposes other than direct human consumption as table eggs, such as those designated for hatching, laboratory use, or as ingredients in further processing where specific grading standards for table consumption are not applicable.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0407.21.00.30, is crucial. While both fall under fresh eggs of domestic chickens, the sibling classification is reserved for eggs that have undergone grading and are specifically designated and packaged for direct retail sale to consumers. This "Other" category captures all remaining fresh chicken eggs that do not qualify for that more specific consumer-grade designation.

As this is a leaf node within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on a clear determination that the eggs are indeed fresh, in shell, from *Gallus domesticus*, and are not otherwise specified as consumer-grade table eggs. Importers should ensure their documentation accurately reflects the intended use and any applicable grading or inspection certificates to support their classification choice.
