Overview
This HTS classification, 0511.10.00.10, specifically covers bovine semen intended for artificial insemination. This designation is crucial for distinguishing it from other animal products not elsewhere specified or included, particularly within Chapter 5, which encompasses a broad range of animal-derived materials. The focus here is solely on the reproductive material of cattle.
When classifying, it is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 0511.10.00.90, which encompasses all other animal products not elsewhere specified or included that are not bovine semen. This sibling category would include items such as animal hair, bristles, feathers, and other animal parts or products that do not fall into more specific HTS headings. The distinction hinges on the specific nature of the product: bovine semen versus a broader array of miscellaneous animal byproducts.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 0511.10.00.10. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of bovine semen. Classification hinges on the product being exclusively semen derived from bovine animals, irrespective of whether it is fresh, chilled, or frozen, provided it is intended for use in breeding programs and not for other industrial or consumption purposes.
