Guts, bladders and stomachs of animals (other than fish), whole and pieces thereof, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried or smoked
Analysis
HTS 0504.00.00 covers guts, bladders and stomachs of animals (other than fish), whole and pieces thereof, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried or smoked under heading 0504 (guts, bladders and stomachs of animals (other than fish), whole and pieces thereof…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 75% of the 20 tariff lines in chapter 05 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
It is the only US line under subheading 0504.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 0504.00 points straight here.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311611 (Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering), an industry of 1,274 US establishments employing 159,965 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
