Last updated: July 2026 dataUSDA APHIS governs the admissibility of many articles under this heading, including cattle embryos (split between dairy and non-dairy lines at 0511994024 and 0511994028), animal semen (0511994040), and natural sponges of animal origin (0511993600) — each carrying distinct permit and health-certificate requirements. The heading is unusually broad, spanning horsehair and horsehair waste (0511993300), Antarctic krill used as animal feed (0511993030), dried animal blood (0511994030), and raw-hide parings destined for glue stock (0511992000). China leads supply across this diverse heading, followed by Australia and Canada, reflecting the range of industrial, agricultural, and biological products it encompasses. Importers must identify the precise 10-digit line early, as classification drives both the applicable duty rate and the regulatory pathway.

Yes. USDA APHIS regulates the importation of cattle embryos and animal semen under veterinary biological and animal health frameworks. Importers typically need an import permit and must meet health-certificate requirements from the country of origin; specific conditions vary by species and source country.
The US tariff schedule separates dairy cattle embryos (0511994024) from other cattle embryos (0511994028), reflecting different commercial uses and potentially different duty treatment. Correct classification depends on the breed and intended use of the embryos, and misclassification can affect both duty liability and APHIS permit requirements.
