HTS heading 0410 is a broad category for insects and other edible products of animal origin that are not specifically covered by an earlier heading. It can include products such as edible insects or other animal-derived food items, depending on their nature and how the tariff schedule organizes them. The phrase “not elsewhere specified or included” means the product should enter this heading only after confirming that no more specific heading applies.
To move from heading 0410 to an 8-digit HTSUS code, follow the more detailed subheadings and tariff provisions beneath it. Classification commonly depends on the product’s material or animal origin, exact type, preparation or preservation, and sometimes its intended presentation. Review the full legal description, unit of quantity, and any applicable notes—not just a product name or search-result label. If the facts do not clearly match one provision, obtain a customs broker’s advice or request a binding ruling from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
What to check
- Describe the product precisely, including the species or animal origin, ingredients, processing, preservation, and packaging.
- Confirm that no more specific HTSUS heading covers the item before using heading 0410.
- Read every 6-digit and 8-digit subheading under 0410 and match the product to the most specific factual description.
- Check the General and Chapter Notes, especially provisions that exclude products covered elsewhere or define relevant terms.
- Keep product specifications, ingredient lists, photographs, and manufacturing records to support the classification, and seek broker or CBP guidance when the wording is ambiguous.
HTS heading 0410 summary
Insects and other edible products of animal origin is a 4-digit product category containing 2 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
