Last updated: July 2026 dataLive asses (donkeys) enter the US under a single 10-digit tariff line (0101300000), with Canada serving as the primary supplier by virtue of cross-border proximity. USDA APHIS import requirements — health certificates, Coggins testing, and potential quarantine — apply to asses just as they do to horses. Commercial trade volumes are modest compared to horses, with demand driven largely by agricultural work animals, companion animals, and specialty breeding programs. Importers should confirm that animals meet APHIS health standards for the specific country of origin, as disease-status requirements can vary.

Yes, asses are subject to the same general USDA APHIS framework as horses, including import permits, veterinary health certificates, and equine infectious anemia (Coggins) testing. Quarantine requirements depend on the country of origin and the animal's health history.
Asses (donkeys) are classified under HTS 010130, while mules and hinnies — which are hybrids of a horse and a donkey — are classified under HTS 010190. The distinction is based on species: a pure donkey is an ass, whereas a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, and a hinny is the offspring of a female donkey and a male horse.
