0410.90.00.00 - Other

HTS Code 0410.90.00.00, "Other," within Chapter 4, is designated for edible products of animal origin that are not elsewhere specified or included and are not insects. This category serves as a residual provision for a diverse range of animal-derived foodstuffs that do not fit into more specific classifications within Chapter 4 or other chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the product must be derived from an animal source and be intended for human consumption.

This "Other" category is distinct from its sibling HTS code 0410.10.00.00, which exclusively covers insects intended for edible purposes. Therefore, any edible animal product that is not an insect, such as certain aquatic invertebrates (excluding shellfish covered elsewhere), non-insect terrestrial invertebrates (if edible and not covered by other headings), or specific processed animal parts not otherwise classified, would likely fall under this residual classification. The classification hinges on the absence of a more precise HTS designation elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0410.90.00.00 relies heavily on the principle of exclusion. Importers and exporters must first determine that the product is indeed an edible animal product and then verify that it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific heading or subheading within the HTS. The specific nature of the animal origin and its preparation or processing will be critical in confirming its placement here.
