0511.99.40.70 - Other

This category, HTS 0511.99.40.70, encompasses a residual group of animal products not elsewhere specified or included in Chapter 05, and which are dead animals of Chapter 1 or 3, unfit for human consumption. It serves as a catch-all for items that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the broader category of "Animal products not elsewhere specified or included; dead animals of chapter 1 or 3, unfit for human consumption." The "Other" designation at this level signifies that it captures a diverse range of products beyond those explicitly detailed in other subheadings of 0511.99.40.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its siblings by its broad scope. Unlike specific items like cattle embryos, dried blood (0511.99.40.30), or other animal semen (0511.99.40.40), this classification is for all other qualifying animal products that do not meet the distinct criteria of those more narrowly defined categories. It is crucial to ensure that the products in question are indeed animal-derived, dead, and demonstrably unfit for human consumption to warrant classification here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, practical classification under HTS 0511.99.40.70 relies heavily on a process of elimination. Importers and exporters should first exhaust all other specific classifications within Chapter 05 that might apply. If a product is an animal product, dead, and unfit for human consumption, but does not align with any other more precise description at the six-digit or eight-digit level, then this residual subheading is the appropriate classification. Examples could include specific processed animal by-products or animal remains used for non-food purposes, provided they meet the overarching requirements of the parent headings.
