0101.21.00.20 - Females

This HTS category, 0101.21.00.20, specifically covers female live horses that have been certified as purebred breeding animals. For a horse to be classified under this heading, it must meet stringent pedigree requirements and be intended for reproductive purposes, contributing to the genetic improvement of specific horse breeds. The classification relies heavily on official breed registration papers and veterinary certifications attesting to their purebred status and suitability for breeding.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0101.21.00.10, which covers male purebred breeding horses. The fundamental difference lies solely in the sex of the animal, with both categories requiring the animal to be a purebred and intended for breeding. Both male and female purebred breeding horses are further distinguished from other live horses under heading 0101 by their explicit designation and certification for breeding purposes, rather than for slaughter, work, or other uses.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification ends at this specific point, delineating purebred female breeding horses from all other types of live horses. The key to accurate classification here is the combined criteria of being a live horse, of the purebred variety, and designated for the specific purpose of breeding, with this particular code addressing the female specimens.
