In virtually all circumstances, no. The Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits the import of marine mammal products for commercial purposes. Additional protections under the Endangered Species Act and CITES apply to many species in this heading. Any attempted import would require extraordinary permitting and is subject to seizure and penalties. Classification and admissibility are highly complex; consult a licensed customs broker and the relevant agencies.
HS 020840 specifically covers meat and offal of animals classified under HS subheading 0106.12 — a group that includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, manatees, and dugongs. This is distinct from other exotic or game meats (covered under 020890) and reflects the unique international regulatory treatment of aquatic mammals under wildlife-protection frameworks.
