Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual catch-all for edible aquatic invertebrates not captured by more specific headings — such as certain echinoderms, tunicates, or other marine animals — this heading also encompasses edible flours, meals, and pellets derived from aquatic invertebrates. All shipments under 0308900100 are subject to FDA admissibility review as human food. Australia and Indonesia lead US supply under this heading, reflecting their diverse marine invertebrate fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Because the heading's breadth means a wide variety of species and product forms can potentially fall here, precise species identification and processing-state documentation are essential to confirm correct classification versus more specific headings in Chapter 3.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Products that commonly land here include lesser-traded invertebrates such as sea squirts (tunicates), certain starfish species prepared for consumption, and edible flours or meals made from molluscs or echinoderms that don't fit the dedicated flour headings in 0309. If a product's species or preparation method is not explicitly captured by a more specific Chapter 3 heading, 030890 is the default classification — but importers should document species identity carefully to defend the classification.
Mixed shipments should be classified according to the essential character of the goods or, if separable, broken out by species or product type at the line-item level. CBP may require species-level documentation, particularly if some components could qualify for a more specific heading. Working with a licensed customs broker before shipment is advisable to determine whether a single entry line or multiple lines best reflects the cargo.
