0106.49.00 - Other

This HTS code, 0106.49.00, is designated for "Other" live insects, excluding those specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 0106. This category encompasses a broad range of insect species not covered by the more specific subheadings. The primary criterion for inclusion is that the organism must be a live insect and not fit into a more precisely defined classification.

While heading 0106.41.00.00 specifically covers bees, this category, 0106.49.00, is for all other types of live insects. This includes, but is not limited to, a vast array of species such as ants, beetles, butterflies, moths, flies, mosquitoes, and other arthropods generally recognized as insects. The distinction lies in the absence of specific enumeration, making this a residual classification for live insects not otherwise classified.

To further refine the classification of insects within this category, two subcategories exist. 0106.49.00.10 is dedicated to leaf cutter bee larvae, which are a distinct group with specific commercial or ecological relevance. The remaining insects not falling into this specialized subcategory are classified under 0106.49.00.90, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all live insects not specifically identified elsewhere.
