Chapter 01: Live animals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 010290 when importing or exporting live bovine animals, specifically those that are not classified as cattle or buffalo. This could include animals like yaks or bison, which may be intended for breeding or agricultural purposes.

This code is distinct from HS-6 010211, which covers live cattle. If you're dealing with animals like water buffalo, you would instead reference HS-6 010290 for other bovine species. Understanding these distinctions is essential for accurate classification.

When considering the importation of live bovine animals under this code, ensure you have the proper health certifications and documentation. These animals may require specific veterinary checks depending on their origin and destination.

If you're unsure whether your shipment falls under this HS-6, compare it with HS-6 010291, which pertains to live buffalo. The key difference lies in the species classification, so always verify the specific type of bovine animal you are dealing with.
