Live Swine Under 50 kg (Piglets & Feeder Pigs)

USDA APHIS regulates the importation of live swine. Importers typically must present a veterinary health certificate from the exporting country's competent authority, and shipments are subject to APHIS port-of-entry inspection. Disease-status conditions — such as restrictions tied to African swine fever or foot-and-mouth disease regionalization — can affect admissibility, so confirming current import conditions before shipment is essential.

The US HTS breaks non-purebred swine under 50 kg into three weight brackets — under 7 kg (0103910010), 7 kg to under 23 kg (0103910020), and 23 kg to under 50 kg (0103910030). Each bracket is a distinct tariff line, so accurate live weight at time of importation is critical to correct classification and duty assessment. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the applicable rate for each weight band.
