Overview
This HTS code, 0511.99.36.00, specifically classifies natural sponges derived from animal sources. These are typically the skeletal remains of marine organisms, processed and cleaned for various uses. Their defining characteristic is their origin as a porous, fibrous structure produced by a living animal.
When classifying items within 0511.99, it's crucial to distinguish between different types of products. Unlike parings and waste of hides (0511.99.20.00) or materials primarily for animal feed (0511.99.30), natural sponges are valued for their physical structure rather than their nutritional or scrap content. Horsehair and its waste (0511.99.33.00) are distinct due to their fibrous nature derived from horses. This category for natural sponges of animal origin addresses a unique product type within the broader "other" subheadings of Chapter 5.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 0511.99.36.00 is definitive for natural sponges of animal origin, based on their biological provenance and characteristic porous structure, and is distinguished from other miscellaneous animal products not elsewhere specified.
