Overview
This HTS category, 0511.10.00.90, encompasses bovine semen that is not classified under the sibling category "Dairy." This designation is critical for customs purposes and signifies that the bovine semen is intended for breeding purposes rather than for direct consumption or processing into dairy products. The classification hinges on the intended use and the processing state of the semen, differentiating it from semen that might be collected as part of a dairy operation but handled differently for commercial or regulatory reasons.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, to ensure accurate classification, importers and exporters must carefully consider the specific nature and intended application of the bovine semen. This includes verifying that the product is indeed bovine in origin and that it is being traded in a form suitable for artificial insemination or other reproductive purposes. If the semen were processed for other uses, or originated from different animal species, it would fall under a different HTS classification.
