Heading 0102 — Bovine animals; live
Chapter 01: Live animals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 010221 when importing or exporting live pure-bred breeding cattle, such as registered Angus or Holstein bulls. This code specifically applies to cattle that are recognized as pure-bred for breeding purposes.
This classification is distinct from HS-6 010229, which covers other live cattle not classified as pure-bred breeding animals. If your shipment includes mixed-breed or non-registered cattle, you would need to use that different code.
The HS-2 01 chapter encompasses all live animals, while the HS-4 0102 heading narrows it down specifically to bovine animals. Within this heading, HS-6 010221 is focused solely on those cattle that are pure-bred and intended for breeding.
When dealing with pure-bred breeding cattle, ensure you have the necessary documentation, such as pedigree certificates, to support the classification under this HS code.
