Product consisting of green-lipped mussel powder (species Perna canalicula), fit for human consumption. It is presented in bags of 10 kg to 20 kg. |
0307 99 80 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 to Chapter 23 and the wording of CN codes 0307 , 0307 99 and 0307 99 80 . The product is fit for human consumption. Therefore, classification under heading 2301 is excluded (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 2301 , point (1)). The product has retained the essential characteristics of the original material (mussel powder). Classification under heading 2309 as a preparation used in animal feeding is therefore excluded in accordance with Note 1 to Chapter 23. Given the characteristics of the product it is to be classified under heading 0307 as ‘other flour or meal of molluscs, fit for human consumption’. |
