Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN code 0410 00 00.
Classification in Chapter 13 is excluded as the product contains constituents obtained from the action of animals.
Given its characteristics, the product is therefore to be classified under heading 0410 as edible products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included.
