Last updated: July 2026 dataA residual catch-all for edible animal-origin products that do not fit any more specific heading — potentially including items such as bird's nest, royal jelly preparations, turtle products, or other specialty ingredients — this heading (0410900000) requires careful classification review to confirm that the product is not more precisely described elsewhere in Chapter 4 or in Chapters 2, 3, or 16. Indonesia and Vietnam lead US supply, reflecting the importance of Southeast Asian specialty food exports such as edible bird's nest, a high-value ingredient in traditional Asian cuisine and wellness products. FDA prior notice, establishment registration, and labeling compliance apply; some products in this heading may also implicate CITES controls or USDA APHIS review depending on the animal species involved. Admissibility is highly product-specific; consult a licensed customs broker and the relevant agency before importing.

Classification in 041090 is appropriate only after confirming the product does not fit a more specific description in Chapter 4 (dairy, eggs, honey), Chapter 2 (meat), Chapter 3 (fish), or Chapter 16 (prepared meat/fish). Importers should obtain a detailed product specification — including species, processing method, and ingredient list — and work with a licensed customs broker to apply the General Rules of Interpretation before declaring the heading.
Edible bird's nest (swiftlet nest) is subject to FDA food-safety requirements including prior notice and establishment registration. FDA has also issued import alerts related to bird's nest products found to contain nitrite levels above acceptable limits or adulterated with artificial coloring. Importers should obtain certificates of analysis for nitrite content and confirm that the product's color is natural rather than artificially enhanced, as FDA has historically detained shipments failing these criteria.
