Heading 0104 — Sheep and goats; live

Chapter 01: Live animals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 010410 when importing or exporting live sheep. This code applies specifically to sheep that are alive, such as those shipped for breeding or livestock purposes. For example, a shipment of 100 breeding ewes from New Zealand to the United States would fall under this classification.

This code is distinct from HS-6 010420, which covers live goats. While both categories fall under the same heading of live sheep and goats, the specific characteristics of the animals determine the appropriate code. Ensure you classify your shipment correctly to avoid customs issues.

Under the heading 0104, which focuses on live sheep and goats, HS-6 010410 narrows it down to sheep only. This includes various breeds and ages of sheep, whether they are for agricultural purposes, breeding, or other uses.

When dealing with live sheep, consider factors such as health certifications, transportation requirements, and destination regulations. These aspects are crucial for compliance and smooth customs clearance.
