Analysis
HTS 0106.11.00 covers mammals: primates under heading 0106 (other live animals).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 4.8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 0106.19.30 (other: foxes), at 4.8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 4.8 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 73% of the 26 tariff lines in chapter 01. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112990 (All Other Animal Production). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 15% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 15% duty.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
