Overview
This category, HTS 3001.90.01.10, specifically encompasses dried liver, whether or not powdered, intended for organotherapeutic uses. This includes liver from any animal source that has undergone a drying process for preservation and subsequent medicinal application. The classification is based on the physical form (dried, powdered) and the intended use (therapeutic or prophylactic).
While the parent category covers a broader range of glands, organs, and their extracts for organotherapeutic purposes, this subcategory narrows the scope to specifically identify dried liver. It is distinct from other potential classifications within the broader "Other" group (3001.90.01.50) by its specific material composition. The parent HTS code's structure indicates that other items within this general heading are classified elsewhere if they are, for example, extracts or secretions of organs rather than the dried organ itself.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 3001.90.01.10. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of dried liver for therapeutic use. Importers and exporters should ensure documentation clearly indicates the origin, form, and intended medicinal application of the liver product to ensure correct classification.
