Classification of live goslings under HS 0105.14
Live goslings, defined as young geese weighing no more than 185 grams, are classified under HS code 0105.14. This classification is part of Heading 0105, which covers live poultry, including fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. The Harmonized System makes a primary distinction based on weight for poultry. Birds weighing 185 grams or less are typically considered "day-old" chicks or very young hatchlings and are grouped under the first part of the heading. Subheading 0105.14 is specifically for geese (Anser spp. and Branta spp.) within this weight limit. This classification is crucial for agricultural statistics and veterinary controls, as young poultry often have different import regulations and duty rates compared to adult birds. The 185g threshold is a strict quantitative limit defined by the World Customs Organization to ensure uniform classification globally. If a goose exceeds this weight, it must be moved to the "other" category for geese. This distinction helps customs authorities monitor the trade of hatchlings for the poultry industry separately from mature livestock.

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).
