Overview
This HTS classification, 0106.49.00.10, specifically designates live leaf cutter bee larvae. These are the immature, non-adult stages of bees belonging to the Megachilidae family, primarily known for their role in pollinating crops by collecting leaf pieces to construct their nests. This code is intended for the importation or exportation of these specific insect larvae for purposes such as commercial pollination services or scientific research.
This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 0106.49.00.90 ("Other"), by its precise identification of the species group. While the "Other" category would encompass any live insect not otherwise specified within heading 0106.49, this code is exclusively for leaf cutter bee larvae, requiring a clear differentiation in the nature of the insect and its life stage.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0106.49.00.10. Therefore, classification within this code requires confirmation that the imported or exported live material consists specifically of leaf cutter bee larvae and not other types of insect larvae or adult insects. Documentation verifying the species and life stage will be crucial for accurate customs processing.
