Overview
This HTS category, 0103.92.00.20, encompasses live swine that are not purebred breeding animals and are intended for purposes other than immediate slaughter. The defining characteristic here is the animals' weight, which must be 50 kilograms or more each. This classification applies to animals designated for activities such as growing out, fattening, or other general agricultural uses, where their primary purpose is not reproduction of a purebred lineage or direct processing into meat.
This classification is distinct from its siblings primarily by its intended end-use. While 0103.92.00.10 specifically covers live swine weighing 50 kg or more that are imported for immediate slaughter, this category excludes such animals. Furthermore, it is differentiated from the "Other" sibling category (0103.92.00.91) by the explicit exclusion of purebred breeding animals. Therefore, this code applies to non-purebred swine that are of a substantial weight and are being imported for purposes other than immediate consumption or purebred breeding.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this heading is therefore determined by the absence of the specific criteria that would place the swine under a different subheading. This includes ensuring the animals are not purebred breeding stock and that their intended use is not immediate slaughter.
