0408.11.00.00 - Dried

This HTS category, 0408.11.00.00, specifically covers egg yolks that are in a dried form. This includes egg yolks that have undergone a drying process, such as spray drying, freeze-drying, or oven drying, resulting in a dehydrated product. These dried egg yolks may or may not contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, as the primary defining characteristic for this classification is the dried state of the yolk.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0408.19.00.00, is straightforward. While 0408.11.00.00 is exclusively for dried egg yolks, the sibling category, "Other," is for egg yolks that are preserved in any form *other* than dried. This would encompass fresh egg yolks, chilled, frozen, cooked, or preserved by other methods not involving complete dehydration.

As 0408.11.00.00 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on ensuring that goods classified here are definitively egg yolks and have been processed to achieve a dried state. The practical application of this classification relies on identifying the physical form of the product as dehydrated.
