0507.90.00.10 - Velvet antler

This HTS category, 0507.90.00.10, specifically classifies "Velvet antler." Velvet antler refers to the soft, cartilaginous covering that grows on deer antlers during their annual regeneration cycle. It contains blood vessels and soft tissue, and is often harvested for use in traditional medicines, dietary supplements, and certain cosmetic products.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 0507.90.00.90, which covers "Other" products within the broader heading of ivory, tortoise-shell, whalebone, horns, antlers, hooves, nails, claws, and beaks, whether unworked or simply prepared. While both fall under the "Other" sub-heading for products not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the heading, 0507.90.00.10 is reserved exclusively for the unique material of velvet antler, differentiating it from other forms of antler or related animal by-products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on the definitive identification of velvet antler based on its physical characteristics and origin, ensuring it is not misclassified with other bone-derived materials or unworked antlers.
