0105 - Live poultry of the following kinds: Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and guineas:

HTS Code 0105 specifically classifies live poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guineas. This category is reserved for birds intended for agricultural purposes, such as meat production or egg laying, and excludes pet birds or birds for other specialized purposes which would fall under other HTS headings.

Distinguishing 0105 from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While all are within Chapter 01, dealing with live animals, 0105 is distinct from 0101 (equine), 0102 (bovine), 0103 (swine), and 0104 (sheep and goats) as it exclusively pertains to avian species. It also differs from 0106, "Other live animals," which encompasses a broad range of animals not specifically listed in other headings.

This category is further subdivided based on the weight of the birds. The subcategory for poultry weighing not more than 185 grams is intended to capture young birds, such as chicks or ducklings. The "Other" subcategory covers all poultry exceeding this weight threshold, which would include adult birds ready for market or breeding. This weight distinction is a primary criterion for distinguishing between these two subcategories.
