Cattle embryos (0511994024 for dairy, 0511994028 for other) require USDA APHIS import permits and must originate from approved facilities meeting US health standards. Importers should coordinate with APHIS Veterinary Services well in advance, as permit processing and health certification requirements vary by source country.
Antarctic krill used as animal food (0511993030) and other animal feed ingredients (0511993060) are distinguished from structural or biological materials like horsehair or sponges. Feed-use products may be subject to FDA review as animal feed ingredients, while non-feed items such as glue stock parings or dried blood follow different admissibility pathways. Consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency to confirm classification and admissibility.
