What HS 0106.32 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
