Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading, this classification captures an unusually diverse set of animal-origin commodities: raw hide parings and glue stock (0511992000), Antarctic krill for animal feed (0511993030), horsehair (0511993300), natural animal sponges (0511993600), dairy and non-dairy cattle embryos (0511994024, 0511994028), dried blood (0511994030), non-bovine animal semen (0511994040), and general inedible animal products. China leads supply across this heading's wide product mix, followed by Australia and Thailand. Cattle embryos are subject to USDA APHIS import protocols similar to those governing bovine semen, while natural sponges and krill face separate admissibility considerations.

Dairy cattle embryos (0511994024) and non-dairy cattle embryos (0511994028) are regulated by USDA APHIS, which requires that embryos originate from approved collection teams, be accompanied by health certificates, and meet disease-freedom standards. Import permits are typically required prior to shipment.
Krill classified under 0511993030 must be specifically designated for use as animal food or feed ingredient and must be inedible or otherwise not intended for human consumption. Krill prepared or preserved for human consumption would fall under Chapter 16 or other fish/crustacean provisions rather than this heading.
