0106

Analysis

Heading 0106 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other live animals. It divides into 13 six-digit subheadings and 14 eight-digit tariff lines, with 18 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

9 of its 14 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (64%) and 5 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.8%. The median line pays duty-free.

The largest subheadings are 0106.19 (other, 2 lines), 0106.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 0106.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 0106.13 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 37th percentile of the headings in chapter 01.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Animal Production (112990), Fur-Bearing Animal and Rabbit Production (112930) and Apiculture (112910). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
