0102.29.40.62 - Steers

This HTS classification, 0102.29.40.62, specifically covers steers. Steers are male bovine animals that have been castrated, typically for meat production. This designation distinguishes them from intact male cattle.

Within the broader category of "Other" cattle weighing 320 kg or more each, intended for immediate slaughter, this subheading differentiates steers from bulls (intact males), cows (female bovines that have calved), and heifers (young female bovines that have not yet calved). The key distinguishing factor for steers is their castrated status, which influences their growth characteristics and suitability for certain meat markets.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories under this specific code. Therefore, the classification is definitively applied to castrated male cattle meeting the weight and intended use criteria outlined in the parent categories.
