Analysis
HTS 0511.10.00 covers animal products not elsewhere specified or included; dead animals of chapter 1 or 3, unfit for human consumption: bovine semen under heading 0511 (animal products not elsewhere specified or included; dead animals of chapter 1 or 3…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in doses.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 3%. The costliest confusion would be with 0511.99.36 (natural sponges of animal origin) at 3%, a difference of 3 points on the customs value.
For statistics it divides in two: 0511.10.00.10 for dairy and 0511.10.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 11211 (Beef Cattle Ranching and Farming, including Feedlots), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
