packaged 100 per container.
The applicable subheading for the pure bee pollen with royal
jelly will be 0410.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for edible products of animal

be 2.5 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the pure bee pollen will be

(HTS), which provides for locust beans, seaweeds and other algae,
sugar beet and sugar cane, fresh or dried, whether or not ground;
fruit stones and kernels and other vegetable products (including
unroasted chicory roots of variety Cichotium intybus sativum) of
a kind used primarily for human consumption, not elsewhere
