Residual live birds not classified under more specific headings — including songbirds, finches, canaries, doves, and other ornamental species — enter under tariff line 0106390100 and face a multi-agency compliance framework. Belgium and Australia are leading source countries, reflecting Europe's ornamental bird breeding industry and Australia's captive-bred export programs. The Wild Bird Conservation Act restricts commercial import of wild-caught CITES-listed species, channeling trade toward captive-bred birds from USFWS-approved facilities, while USDA APHIS mandates health certification and quarantine for all imported birds. Species identification on the commercial invoice is critical, as classification and permit requirements vary significantly across the wide range of birds that fall into this residual heading.

The US Fish & Wildlife Service maintains a publicly available list of approved foreign breeding facilities. Importers should verify the specific facility — not just the country — is on the current approved list before contracting, as approvals can be revoked. The facility's USFWS approval number should appear on the CITES export permit and commercial invoice.
USDA APHIS maintains a list of approved quarantine facilities where imported birds must be held — typically for 30 days — to screen for exotic Newcastle disease and other pathogens. Private quarantine facilities approved by APHIS are an option for larger commercial shipments, but must meet APHIS biosecurity standards. Space at approved facilities should be reserved well in advance of shipment.
