Last updated: April 2026 dataFertilized fish eggs not intended for human consumption, dead aquatic animals of Chapter 3, and other inedible fish and crustacean products fall under this heading, covering a range of aquaculture inputs and industrial by-products. The US schedule distinguishes fertilized fish eggs (0511910010) — a critical aquaculture seed stock — from the broader residual category (0511910090). Canada dominates supply, particularly for salmonid eggs destined for hatchery programs, while Argentina, Iceland, and Norway contribute marine species products. USDA APHIS and, in some cases, the US Fish & Wildlife Service may assert jurisdiction over certain live or biological materials in this heading.

Yes. Fertilized fish eggs classified under 0511910010 may require USDA APHIS permits and health certification from the exporting country, particularly to manage disease risks such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia. State-level fish and wildlife agencies may impose additional restrictions depending on the destination.
The 0511910010 line is specifically reserved for fertilized fish eggs not intended for human consumption — primarily aquaculture seed stock. The 0511910090 line captures all other inedible products of fish, crustaceans, and dead aquatic animals of Chapter 3 that do not fit a more specific provision.
