Mammals; live, camels and other camelids (Camelidae)
HS v2022 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 Asia and Africa. These animals have long played a vital role in the economies and cultures of these regions, 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, rural livelihoods, and the preservation of traditional ways of life.
Production process
The production of live camels and camelids typically involves a combination of extensive grazing, selective breeding, and herd management practices. Camelids are well-adapted to the harsh environments in which they are raised, able to thrive on sparse vegetation and tolerate extreme temperatures. Herders often employ nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles, moving their animals to different grazing areas throughout the year to ensure access to adequate forage. Selective breeding is used to improve traits such as size, temperament, and productivity, while herd health is maintained through vaccination, parasite control, and other veterinary interventions.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the camelid industry are the land, water, and forage resources required to sustain the herds. Camelids are typically grazed on marginal lands that are unsuitable for other livestock, making efficient use of arid and semi-arid environments. In addition to these natural resources, the industry also relies on specialized equipment and infrastructure, such as pens, watering systems, and transportation vehicles, as well as veterinary supplies and services to maintain herd health and productivity.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the camelid industry are the live animals themselves, which are traded both domestically and internationally for a variety of purposes. Camels and other camelids may be sold for meat production, as evidenced by the 020910 Meat of camels code, or for use as pack animals, as reflected in the 010619 Live animals; other live animals code. The animals may also be traded for breeding purposes or as exotic pets, contributing to the broader livestock and animal trade.
