HS v2017 Code: 010613

About mammals; live, camels and other camelids (camelidae)

HS code 010613 covers the live trade of camels and other camelids, a group of large, hump-bearing mammals found primarily in the arid regions of Africa and Asia. These animals have long played a vital role in the economies and cultures of many countries, serving as pack animals, sources of food and fiber, and even as symbols of wealth and status. The global camelid industry is an important component of the broader livestock trade, contributing to food security, transportation, and the preservation of traditional ways of life in various parts of the world.

Production process

The production of live camels and other camelids typically involves a combination of extensive grazing, selective breeding, and herd management practices. Camelids are often raised in nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoral systems, where they graze on natural vegetation and are moved to different locations in search of water and forage. Breeders carefully select animals for desirable traits, such as size, temperament, and adaptability to local environments, to maintain the health and productivity of their herds. Veterinary care, including vaccination and disease prevention, is also an essential aspect of camelid production.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the camelid industry include access to suitable grazing land, water sources, and feed supplements. Specialized equipment, such as pens, fencing, and transportation vehicles, are also necessary for the effective management and movement of camelid herds. Additionally, skilled labor, including herders, breeders, and veterinary professionals, is crucial for the successful operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the camelid industry are the live animals themselves, which are traded domestically and internationally for a variety of purposes. Camelids are valued for their meat, milk, and fiber, which are used in the production of various food and textile products. The camelid industry also supports related industries, such as 010619 Mammals; live, other, 020950 Meat of camels and other camelids, fresh, chilled or frozen, and 510529 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed.
