Analysis
HTS 0506.90.00 covers bones and horn-cores, unworked, defatted, simply prepared (but not cut to shape), treated with acid or degelatinized; powder and waste of these products: other under heading 0506 (bones and horn-cores, unworked, defatted, simply prepared (but not cut to shape), treated…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 0506.90.00.20 for bones, crude, steamed or ground and 0506.90.00.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 75% of the 20 tariff lines in chapter 05. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 0506.10.00 (ossein and bones treated with acid, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311611 (Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering), an industry of 1,274 US establishments employing 159,965 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
