About HS Code 010632
This HS code covers the international trade of live Psittaciformes, which encompasses all species of parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, and macaws. These birds are predominantly traded for the exotic pet market due to their intelligence, vibrant plumage, and ability to mimic speech, making them highly sought after companions. They are also traded for breeding programs aimed at sustaining captive populations and for zoological display. The trade is heavily regulated by CITES, as many parrot species are endangered, necessitating strict permits and comprehensive health certifications. Exporters often originate from regions with native parrot populations or large, reputable breeding facilities, while importers include pet stores, private collectors, and zoos globally.
