Last updated: July 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.
