0102.29.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 0102.29.40, covers live bovine animals of the species *Bos taurus* and *Bos indicus* that are not specifically classified under other headings within Chapter 01. This category serves as a residual classification for cattle not falling into more precise categories based on sex or specific breeding purposes.

Distinguished from its sibling category 0102.29.20, which exclusively covers cows imported for dairy purposes, this classification encompasses all other types of cattle. This includes, but is not limited to, bull calves, steers, breeding bulls not specifically designated for dairy, and cattle intended for beef production or other non-dairy agricultural uses. The key differentiator is the absence of a specific dairy-related import purpose.

The subcategories within 0102.29.40 are structured to differentiate based on the weight of the individual animals. This granular approach allows for more precise statistical tracking and tariff application based on the maturity and size of the cattle. The subdivisions - weighing less than 90 kg, 90 kg or more but less than 200 kg, 200 kg or more but less than 320 kg, and 320 kg or more each - provide clear criteria for customs officers to accurately assign the correct classification based on the physical characteristics of the imported or exported animals.
