Overview
This HTS classification, 0106.19.91.20, specifically designates "Dogs" as live animals falling under the broader category of other mammals. This code is utilized for the customs clearance of canines intended for import or export. The classification recognizes dogs as distinct from other live animals due to their specific biological characteristics and common usage as companion animals, working animals, or for other specialized purposes.
Within the "Other mammals" category at this level, the distinction between this code and its sibling, 0106.19.91.95 ("Other"), is crucial. While 0106.19.91.95 would encompass any other live mammals not otherwise specified, the current code is dedicated solely to dogs. This specificity ensures that dogs are appropriately identified for regulatory, health, and statistical purposes, differentiating them from a general catch-all classification for other mammalian species.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for dogs. Therefore, classification relies entirely on accurately identifying the imported or exported animal as a dog. It is important for importers and exporters to ensure that any canine shipments are correctly declared under this specific HTS code to avoid potential delays or discrepancies in customs processing.
