0511.99.40.30 - Dried blood 🖩

This HTS classification, 0511.99.40.30, specifically covers dried blood. This includes blood from any animal source that has undergone a dehydration process, rendering it in a dry, preserved state. It is intended for uses other than direct human or animal consumption, such as in industrial applications, laboratory reagents, or as a component in the manufacture of certain products.

Within the broader category of "Other" animal products not elsewhere specified or included, this HTS code distinguishes itself from sibling categories such as cattle embryos or animal semen. Those classifications refer to biological reproductive materials, whereas this code is exclusively for dried blood. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that dried blood does not fit into more specific subdivisions of animal by-products within Chapter 5.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of "Dried blood" will be determined solely by its physical state (dried) and its origin (animal blood). Careful consideration should be given to the intended use and the specific processing method to ensure accurate classification.
