About heading 0102

Live bovine animals

Heading 0102 covers live bovine animals, meaning live cattle and live buffalo, including bison. It is first split by species (cattle in 0102.21 and 0102.29, buffalo in 0102.31 and 0102.39), then by purebred breeding animals versus other animals. The remaining lines turn on sex, weight brackets, and whether the animal is imported for dairy purposes, immediate slaughter, or breeding.
