HS v2022 Code: 010631

About birds; live, birds of prey

HS code 010631 covers the trade of live birds of prey, which are a group of predatory birds that hunt and kill other animals for food. These birds play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems, controlling rodent and small mammal populations, and are highly valued in falconry and other forms of avian hunting. The global trade in live birds of prey is an important component of the broader wildlife trade, with significant economic and environmental implications.

Production process

The production of live birds of prey typically involves the breeding and rearing of these animals in captivity. Breeders carefully select and pair parent birds to produce healthy offspring, often using techniques such as artificial insemination to improve breeding success. Chicks are then hand-reared and trained to ensure they develop the necessary hunting and flight skills required for their intended use, whether in falconry, conservation, or other applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of live birds of prey include specialized breeding and rearing facilities, such as aviaries and flight cages, as well as a range of feed and veterinary supplies to ensure the health and well-being of the birds. Breeders may also require permits and licenses to legally engage in the trade of these protected species.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 010631 is the live birds of prey themselves, which are then sold or traded for use in falconry, conservation programs, zoos, and other applications. These birds may also be used to produce feathers, which are in demand for traditional crafts and ceremonial purposes. The output of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 950720 Hunting or fishing requisites, 010639 Other live birds, and 950690 Other articles and equipment for sports or outdoor games, among others.
