0106.32.00

Analysis

HTS 0106.32.00 covers psittaciformes (including parrots, parakeets, macaws and cockatoos) under heading 0106 (other live animals).

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4.8%. The costliest confusion would be with 0106.19.30 (other: foxes) at 4.8%, a difference of 3 points on the customs value.

The general duty rate is 1.8% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 01 (81st percentile of 26 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $180 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 1.8%. 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.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 20%, 11.1 times the general rate.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112990 (All Other Animal Production), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
