Sourcing this category from India
HS 0505.90 covers Animal products; skins and other parts of birds, feathers and down (not for stuffing), powder and waste of such, not further worked than cleaned, disinfected or treated for preservation. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India supplies animal-origin industrial inputs such as bone meal, horn and hair, though volumes here are niche. India exported $15K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #2 of 2 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
0505.90 is the six-digit HS subheading for animal products. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many live animals & animal products lines — check our import guides for your market.
