Overview
This HTS category, 0101.29.00.90, encompasses horses that do not fall under the specific subcategories of live horses, asses, mules, and hinnies within Chapter 1. It serves as a residual classification for equine animals that are not imported for immediate slaughter. This includes, but is not limited to, horses intended for breeding, recreational riding, performance, or other non-slaughter purposes.
The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 0101.29.00.10 ("Imported for immediate slaughter"), lies in the intended end-use of the animal. While the sibling category specifically targets horses destined for immediate processing into meat products, this category covers all other live horses whose intended use precludes immediate slaughter. This includes animals imported for resale into the general market for various purposes.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 0101.29.00.90. Therefore, classification within this code is final for horses that are not imported for immediate slaughter. Importers and customs brokers must ensure that the intended purpose of the imported horses is clearly documented and aligns with the exclusion criteria of the "immediate slaughter" classification to accurately apply this residual category.
