0410 - Insects and other edible products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included:

Heading 0410 encompasses a unique collection of edible products derived from animals that do not fit into other more specific categories within Chapter 4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This category is primarily for items that are consumed by humans and are of animal origin but are not dairy products, eggs, honey, or prepared meats.

Unlike the preceding headings in Chapter 4, such as those for milk products (Chapter 0401-0406) or eggs (Chapter 0407), heading 0410 is reserved for distinctly non-traditional edible animal provisions. It serves as a residual category for animal-based foodstuffs that fall outside the more common classifications.

Within heading 0410, two subcategories exist to further refine classification. Subheading 0410.10.00.00 specifically addresses "Insects," which are increasingly recognized as a sustainable food source in various global cuisines. The remaining edible animal products not elsewhere specified or included are classified under subheading 0410.90.00.00, ensuring that any animal-derived edible item not fitting more precise headings finds its appropriate place.
