0102.39.00.24 - Male

This HTS classification, 0102.39.00.24, specifically covers live male buffalo weighing less than 90 kilograms each. These animals are intended for purposes such as breeding, slaughter, or further raising and fall within the broader category of live buffalo other than those classified under more specific descriptions.

The critical distinguishing factor for this code, when compared to its sibling 0102.39.00.28, is the sex of the animal. While both codes pertain to live buffalo weighing under 90 kg, this particular code is exclusively for males, whereas the sibling code is for females. This distinction is crucial for import and export declarations, as it can affect duties, quotas, and regulatory requirements.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is solely determined by the animal being a live male buffalo weighing less than 90 kilograms. Importers and exporters should ensure that all documented characteristics of the buffalo align precisely with these criteria to avoid misclassification.
