U.S. exports of Live Goats (SITC 00122) totaled $28K in August 2026, exported to 5 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataGoats imported live into the US serve several distinct market segments — dairy goat breeding programs, meat production (particularly cabrito and chevon for ethnic markets), and fiber production for Angora and Cashmere industries. USDA APHIS governs entry, requiring health certificates and disease clearance from the exporting country, with particular attention to contagious caprine pleuropneumonia and other transboundary diseases. The relatively small scale of this trade compared with bovine or swine imports means that supply disruptions from a single approved-country restriction can have outsized market effects. Admissibility is complex — consult a licensed customs broker or USDA APHIS before importing.

USDA APHIS requires an official veterinary health certificate from the exporting country's national authority, attesting that the animals are free from specified diseases and originate from a country or zone recognized by APHIS as eligible. Requirements may include testing for specific pathogens and documentation of the herd of origin.
All live goats fall under the same SITC heading regardless of breed or intended use — fiber, dairy, or meat. However, at the HTS level, classification may distinguish purebred breeding animals from other goats, which can affect the applicable duty rate. Importers of Angora or Cashmere breeding stock should confirm whether their animals qualify for the purebred breeding animal subheading.
