0103.91.00 - Weighing less than 50 kg each

This HTS category, 0103.91.00, specifically classifies live swine that weigh less than 50 kilograms each. This classification is part of a broader system for tracking and regulating the international trade of animals, ensuring accurate duties and compliance. The emphasis on individual animal weight is a key factor in differentiating this group from others within the live swine heading.

The primary distinction for 0103.91.00 lies in its weight parameter, setting it apart from its sibling category, 0103.92.00, which covers live swine weighing 50 kilograms or more each. Therefore, any live swine exceeding the 50 kg threshold would fall under the sibling classification, regardless of other characteristics.

Within this category, further subdivisions are provided to refine the classification based on specific weight ranges. These subcategories include 0103.91.00.10 (weighing less than 7 kg each), 0103.91.00.20 (weighing 7 kg or more but less than 23 kg each), and 0103.91.00.30 (weighing 23 kg or more but less than 50 kg each). These subcategories allow for more granular tracking and potentially different regulatory treatments based on the developmental stage and size of the young swine.
