Analysis
HTS 0106.90.01 covers other live animals: other under heading 0106 (other live animals). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
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.
The ten-digit suffixes separate worms and bait. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
