Analysis
HTS 0106.13.00 covers camels and other camelids (Camelidae) under heading 0106 (other live animals).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 4.8%. Compared with 0106.19.30 (other: foxes), which pays 4.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.8 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 73% of the 26 tariff lines in chapter 01, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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 concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
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.
