Reading code 0106

The first two digits (01) place this code in chapter 01 — Live Animals. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Live animals of every kind — cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, poultry, and other livestock traded live. Most live animals attract nil or low GST.
