About HS Code 010639
This HS code covers live birds other than birds of prey, Psittaciformes (parrots), ostriches, and emus. This category is crucial for the global exotic pet trade, zoological collections, and specialized breeding programs. International trade in these birds often involves species like canaries, finches, doves, and various ornamental fowl, catering to hobbyists, aviaries, and research institutions. Importers typically include specialized pet stores, private collectors, and zoos in developed nations, while exporters are often countries with diverse avian populations or established breeding facilities. Key considerations in this trade include CITES regulations for endangered species, animal welfare standards during transport, and health certifications to prevent disease spread. The market for these birds can be quite niche, driven by aesthetic appeal, rarity, or specific breeding purposes.
