0105.11.00 - Chickens

This HTS classification, 0105.11.00, specifically covers live chickens that weigh no more than 185 grams. This weight restriction is a critical factor in distinguishing these young birds from older or larger fowl. The category falls under the broader heading of live poultry, encompassing various species.

Within the live poultry category, this sub-heading is distinct from its siblings based on both species and weight. While 0105.12.00.00 covers turkeys, 0105.13.00.00 covers ducks, 0105.14.00.00 covers geese, and 0105.15.00.00 covers guinea fowls, this particular code is exclusively for chickens. Furthermore, the "weighing not more than 185 g" limitation differentiates these young chickens from larger, older chickens that would fall under different tariff lines.

The subcategories for 0105.11.00 further refine the classification. The existence of a subcategory for "Breeding stock, whether or not purebred" indicates a distinction based on the intended purpose of the birds. The "Other" subcategory typically captures any remaining chickens within this weight bracket that do not meet the specific criteria for breeding stock.
