About HS Code 010513

This HS code covers live young ducks, specifically those weighing not more than 185 grams. This category primarily includes day-old ducklings, which are traded internationally to support the global duck meat and egg industries. The trade in these young birds is vital for farms that specialize in duck production. Logistics involve careful handling, specialized transport, and strict biosecurity protocols to ensure the health and survival of the ducklings during transit. Exporters are often countries with well-established duck breeding programs and hatcheries, supplying both domestic and international markets, particularly in Asia where duck consumption is traditionally high, and in Europe for specialty products.
