0102.29.20.12 - Weighing 90 kg or more each

This HTS category, 0102.29.20.12, specifically classifies live bovine animals of the species *Bos taurus* or *Bos indicus*, which are identified as cattle, falling under the "Other" subcategory and designated for dairy purposes. The defining characteristic of this classification is that each individual animal weighs 90 kilograms or more at the time of import or export. This weight threshold is a crucial physical attribute used for differentiating within the "Cows imported specially for dairy purposes" group.

This category is distinct from its sibling, HTS 0102.29.20.11, which covers dairy cows weighing less than 90 kilograms each. The distinction hinges solely on the individual animal's weight. Both categories pertain to cows intended for milk production, but the classification requires adherence to the specified weight criteria for proper assignment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0102.29.20.12. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes remains on ensuring the bovine animals are indeed cattle, imported specifically for dairy purposes, and that each meets the minimum weight requirement of 90 kilograms. Importers and exporters must verify this weight through appropriate documentation or physical inspection to ensure correct tariff application.
