Live asses, commonly known as donkeys, are classified under a single 10-digit line (0101300000) and enter the US subject to USDA APHIS import permits and health certification, consistent with other live equids. Commercially, asses are imported for agricultural work, breeding programs, and companion-animal purposes, with demand driven largely by small-farm and rural markets. Because this is a low-volume, specialized trade, importers should confirm current APHIS country-of-origin disease status requirements well in advance of shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. As equids, live asses require an APHIS import permit and a health certificate from an accredited veterinarian in the exporting country. Quarantine may also be required depending on the origin country's disease status for conditions such as equine infectious anemia and African horse sickness.
No. The US tariff schedule provides only one 10-digit line (0101300000) for all live asses regardless of size or breed. Miniature donkeys and standard donkeys are classified identically under this heading.
