0102.39.00 - Other
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS classification, 0102.39.00, covers live buffalo that are not purebred breeding animals. It encompasses all buffalo that do not meet the specific criteria for purebred breeding animals, which are detailed under the sibling category 0102.31.00. This means that animals intended for slaughter, general farming purposes, or any use other than documented purebred breeding fall within this classification.
The distinction from the sibling category 0102.31.00 is crucial for accurate classification. Purebred breeding animals require specific documentation and pedigree verification to be classified under 0102.31.00. All other live buffalo, regardless of age or sex, are classified here if they do not satisfy these rigorous breeding animal requirements.
Within this broad category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. Subcategory 0102.39.00.10 specifically addresses bison, which are also considered buffalo for tariff purposes. The remaining "Other" designation within this level, therefore, captures all other live buffalo species and types that are not purebred breeding animals and are not bison.
