Analysis
HTS 0106.19.30 covers other: foxes under heading 0106 (other live animals).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 1.8%. Compared with 0106.90.01 (other live animals: other), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.8 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 4.8% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 01 (94th percentile of 26 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $480 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112930 (Fur-Bearing Animal and Rabbit Production). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 15%, 3.1 times the general rate.
