0101.90.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0101.90.40.00, encompasses live horses, asses, mules, and hinnies that do not fall under the specific designation of "imported for immediate slaughter" (0101.90.30.00). This means that animals classified here are intended for purposes other than being processed for meat. Such purposes could include breeding, use as working animals, recreational riding, or other non-slaughter related activities.

The key distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, 0101.90.30.00, lies solely in the intended end-use of the animal. If the definitive purpose upon importation is for immediate slaughter, it is classified under the sibling. Conversely, any live horse, ass, mule, or hinny not destined for immediate slaughter, regardless of breed, age, or specific intended use (as long as it's not slaughter), will be classified under this heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0101.90.40.00. Therefore, all live horses, asses, mules, and hinnies not imported for immediate slaughter fall directly into this classification. Classification decisions should be based on documented evidence of the animal's intended use at the time of importation.
