About animal originated products; not elsewhere specified or included

HS code 05 covers a diverse range of animal-derived products that are not classified elsewhere in the Harmonized System. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials and inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to food and agriculture. The products within this code are often highly specialized and have unique properties that make them indispensable in various applications.

Production process

The production techniques used in this industry can vary significantly depending on the specific product. In general, the processes may involve the collection, processing, and refinement of animal-derived materials, such as bones, horns, hooves, hair, and other byproducts. This may include methods like rendering, drying, grinding, and chemical extraction to obtain the desired form and purity of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include the raw animal materials, such as 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0103 Live swine, and 0104 Live sheep and goats, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing and refining operations. Additionally, the industry may rely on chemical reagents, energy sources, and skilled labor to ensure the efficient and safe production of these animal-originated products.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry are highly diverse, ranging from 0506 (Bones and horn-cores, unworked, defatted, simply prepared (but not cut to shape), treated with acid or degelatinised; powder and waste of these products), 0507 Ivory, tortoiseshell, whalebone and whalebone hair, horns, antlers, hooves, nails, claws and beaks, unworked or simply prepared but not cut to shape; powder and waste of these products, to 0510 Ambergris, castoreum, civet and musk; cantharides; bile, whether or not dried; glands and other animal products used in the preparation of pharmaceutical products, fresh, chilled, frozen or otherwise provisionally preserved. These products are often used as inputs in various industries, such as 3001 Glands and other organs for organo-therapeutic uses, dried, whether or not powdered; extracts of glands or other organs or of their secretions for organo-therapeutic uses; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not elsewhere specified or included, 3304 (Beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin (other than medicaments), including sunscreen or sun tan preparations; manicure or pedicure preparations), and 2301 Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves, among others.
