Classification of baby geese under HS 0105.14
Baby geese, or goslings, are classified under HS code 0105.14. This code is part of the broader 0105 heading for live poultry. The specific subheading 0105.14 is reserved for geese (Anser spp.) that weigh no more than 185 grams. This weight limit is crucial for customs authorities to distinguish between breeding stock or hatchlings and adult birds intended for immediate slaughter or egg production. The classification relies on General Interpretative Rule (GRI) 1 and GRI 6. Because geese are specifically named in the subheadings of 0105, they must be classified there rather than under the residual "other" categories. The distinction between domestic and wild geese is also important; domestic geese fall under 0105, while wild geese would be classified under 0106. The 185-gram rule is a bright-line test used globally to simplify the classification of young poultry. This ensures that hatchlings, which are often transported in large quantities for commercial farming, are monitored separately from heavier, mature birds. Proper classification is essential for complying with avian health certificates and import quotas that may vary based on the age and weight of the birds.

Codes often confused with 0105.14
Common mistake. Baby geese are sometimes incorrectly classified under 0105.11, which is specific to chickens (Gallus domesticus). While both are young poultry, the species must be distinguished at the subheading level. Another common error is 0105.99, which is only for poultry weighing more than 185 grams. Wild geese should be classified under 0106.39.

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).
