0102.29.40.64 - Bulls

This HTS classification, 0102.29.40.64, specifically covers male bovine animals, commonly referred to as bulls, which are intended for immediate slaughter. These animals fall under the broader category of live cattle, and more specifically, under "other" cattle that are not steers, cows, or heifers. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is their intended purpose: to be processed for meat consumption without further breeding or fattening purposes.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 0102.29.40.62 covers steers (castrated male cattle), 0102.29.40.66 covers cows (mature female cattle), and 0102.29.40.68 covers heifers (young female cattle), this classification is reserved for intact male cattle, bulls, that meet the weight criterion of 320 kg or more each and are designated for slaughter. The biological sex and intended use are the primary differentiators.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 0102.29.40.64 relies solely on the confirmed identity of the live bovine animal as a bull, its weight exceeding 320 kg per individual, and documentation or evidence confirming its immediate intended purpose for slaughter. This ensures that only the specified type of male cattle are accurately classified and subject to the relevant import/export duties and regulations.
