Chicken Feather Meal from Canada
Chicken feather meal is a powdered byproduct made from cleaned, disinfected, and steam-hydrolyzed chicken feathers, used primarily as a high-protein animal feed ingredient. It falls under HTS 0505.90.20 as feather meal and waste, not further worked beyond preservation treatments like disinfection. This classification applies to feather-derived powders intended for agricultural or feed use.

Import Tips
• Verify supplier certificates confirming feathers are from cleaned, disinfected sources and meet feed safety standards like FDA or equivalent to avoid biosecurity rejections
• Include detailed composition analysis in documentation, specifying protein content and hydrolysis process, as misdeclaration as meat meal can lead to reclassification
• Check country-specific restrictions on poultry byproducts due to disease risks (e.g
• avian flu); obtain veterinary health certificates for all shipments
