Animals; live, n.e.c. in chapter 01
In plain English
This heading covers live animals that are not listed elsewhere in the chapter, including mammals, reptiles, birds, and insects. The categories separate these animals by type, such as primates, cetaceans, camelids, rabbits, hares, seals, sea lions, walruses, manatees, and dugongs. Reptiles like snakes and turtles are grouped together, while birds are distinguished as birds of prey, parrots, ostriches, emus, or other birds. Insects are classified as bees or other insects, and any remaining live animals that do not fit into these specific groups are placed in a final category.
