Overview
This HTS category, 0103.91.00.10, specifically covers live swine that weigh less than 7 kilograms each. This classification is applied to young pigs, often referred to as piglets, intended for various purposes such as breeding, further raising, or slaughter. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the individual weight of the animal.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings, 0103.91.00.20 and 0103.91.00.30. Those categories encompass live swine weighing 7 kg or more, with further distinctions made based on weight ranges up to 50 kg. Therefore, the 7 kg threshold is the primary determinant for classifying swine under 0103.91.00.10, setting it apart from heavier animals.
As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions for this specific classification. The classification is complete once the criteria of being live swine and weighing less than 7 kg each are met. This ensures that the trade of young swine is precisely accounted for under this distinct tariff heading.
