0105.11.00.40 - Other

This HTS category encompasses live chickens that weigh not more than 185 grams. This weight specification is crucial for differentiating these birds from larger poultry, such as adult chickens, which would fall under different classifications. The intent of this category is to specifically classify young chickens, commonly referred to as chicks, based on their immature stage and corresponding light weight.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Breeding stock, whether or not purebred." While both are live chickens, the distinction lies in their intended use and maturity. Breeding stock, regardless of purity of breed, implies adult birds selected for reproductive purposes and would typically weigh significantly more than 185 grams. This "Other" category, therefore, focuses on young, non-breeding poultry.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Classification within this code is solely determined by the animal being a live chicken and weighing not more than 185 grams. This ensures precise categorization of young poultry for import and export purposes.
