Overview
This HTS category, 0102.29.20.11, specifically classifies live bovine animals, identified as cattle, that are imported for dairy purposes and individually weigh less than 90 kilograms. This detailed classification targets young cattle, such as calves or heifers, intended for breeding and subsequent milk production. The primary purpose of import is the crucial factor, distinguishing these animals from other categories of live cattle.
The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in the individual weight of the animal. It is explicitly defined as "Weighing less than 90 kg each." This distinguishes it from its sibling category, 0102.29.20.12, which covers cows imported for dairy purposes that weigh 90 kilograms or more each. This weight threshold is a critical physical characteristic used in the tariff system to differentiate between younger, lighter animals and more mature, heavier ones.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is complete at this level, providing a specific designation for young dairy-intended cattle based on their individual weight. When classifying, ensure that the animal's intended purpose (dairy) and its individual weight are both confirmed to align with this specific HTS code.
