Mules (horse dam × donkey sire) and hinnies (donkey dam × horse sire) are classified together under a single 10-digit line (0101900000), reflecting their shared status as sterile equid hybrids. USDA APHIS governs their importation under the same equid permit and health-certification framework that applies to horses and asses. Trade in live mules remains niche in the US context, with demand concentrated in agricultural, pack, and recreational riding applications.

For HTS classification, mules and hinnies are not distinguished — both are covered by the single line 0101900000. The biological difference (which parent is the horse versus the donkey) has no bearing on duty treatment or admissibility requirements.
As equids, mules require an APHIS import permit and a health certificate from an accredited veterinarian in the country of export. Testing for equine infectious anemia is standard, and quarantine requirements depend on the origin country's disease risk profile.
