In plain English

This category includes processed products made from meat, fish, or other aquatic animals that are not suitable for people to eat. It also covers the solid remains left after extracting oil from these animal sources. The items are separated into two groups based on their source material. One group consists of products derived from meat or meat by-products, while the other group includes those made from fish, crustaceans, mollusks, or similar sea creatures.

Chapter 23 classification notes

Chapter 23 covers significant trade volumes including pet food. Pet food destined for retail sale must comply with destination veterinary + labelling rules; personal-quantity pet-food carriage with the pet usually clears as personal effects.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Pet food 2309.10 (dog/cat) vs 2309.90 (other animal feed); commercial-grade animal feed has different duty than retail pet food.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
