Dried and ground Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) processed into meal form, chiefly used as a high-protein ingredient in fish and shrimp farm feeds. Falls under HTS 0511.99.30.30 due to its primary role in animal nutrition, excluding it from edible human food categories per chapter exclusions. Minimal processing preserves its nutritional profile for livestock.

Import Tips
• Label as 'not for human consumption' to comply with chapter notes and prevent reclassification
• Include lab analysis showing protein/fat content for customs valuation and AAFCO feed standards
