Organic Blood Meal Fertilizer from Japan
Blood meal is a dry, inert powder made from dried animal blood, primarily from cattle slaughterhouses, used as a high-nitrogen organic fertilizer. It falls under HTS 3101.00.00.00 because it is an animal-derived product chemically treated through drying and grinding for agricultural use. This nitrogen-rich amendment promotes vigorous leaf growth in gardens and crops.

Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates proving animal products are from BSE-free countries to meet USDA and FDA import requirements
• Include detailed chemical analysis reports showing nitrogen content and absence of pathogens for CBP classification
• Avoid misclassification as heading 0511 by emphasizing fertilizer end-use rather than raw blood product on invoices
