Overview
This category, HTS Code 0106.49.00.90, encompasses "Other" live insects not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 0106. This broad classification is intended for any live insect that does not fit into more specific subheadings. The primary criterion for inclusion is that the organism is a live insect and does not meet the defined characteristics of other classifications within the "Insects" group.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0106.49.00.10, which specifically covers leaf cutter bee larvae. This current heading, 0106.49.00.90, therefore, applies to all other live insects, such as adult insects, other larval stages of insects not specifically mentioned, or insects that are not leaf cutter bees. The absence of subcategories indicates that this is a final classification level, meaning that any live insect not otherwise specified will be classified here.
Given that this is a leaf node, practical classification will rely on confirming the item is indeed a live insect and then verifying that it does not fall under any more precise classifications within Chapter 01. Examples of items that might be classified here include common household insects for research purposes, specific species of beetles or flies intended for trade, or other non-specified insect larvae, provided they are not covered by a more granular subheading.
