What HS 0106.19 covers
This 'other' category for live mammals is a broad classification encompassing a vast array of species not specifically listed in other 01061X codes. It includes everything from large exotic zoo animals like big cats and elephants to smaller mammals destined for the exotic pet trade, scientific research, or conservation breeding programs. Trade in these animals is highly regulated, often requiring CITES permits for endangered species, extensive veterinary health checks, and specialized transport logistics to ensure animal welfare and biosecurity. Importers are typically zoos, wildlife parks, private collectors, or research facilities, while exporters can be countries with diverse native wildlife or specialized breeding centers that adhere to international standards.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
