Overview
This HTS category, 0106.14.00.00, specifically covers live rabbits and live hares. This includes all breeds and ages of these animals when imported or exported as live specimens. The classification is intended for animals primarily kept for commercial purposes such as meat production, fur, laboratory use, or as pets, rather than for scientific research or conservation as wild animals.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0106.14.00.00 focuses exclusively on the distinct species of rabbits and hares. It does not encompass primates (0106.11.00.00), marine mammals like whales or seals (0106.12.01.00), or camelids such as camels and llamas (0106.13.00.00). While all these are mammals under the broader 0106.1 heading, rabbits and hares represent a unique taxonomic group with specific economic and biological characteristics. The "Other" category for mammals (0106.19) would only be used if an animal did not fit into any of the more specific subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0106.14.00.00. Therefore, all live rabbits and hares, regardless of origin, purpose, or specific breed, are classified directly under this code. Classification relies on the clear identification of the animal as either a rabbit or a hare.
