Statistical number 4 of 6 in subheading 010239
Weight at the time of importation is the defining classification criterion for this tariff line, which covers female water buffalo in the 200 kg or more but less than 320 kg range that are neither purebred breeding animals nor bison. The explicit exclusion of bison reflects the separate tariff treatment American bison receive under US trade law, so importers must confirm species identity — water buffalo versus bison — through veterinary documentation. USDA APHIS import permits and health certificates are required, and the weight must be verifiable at the port of entry.

CBP officers or APHIS inspectors may weigh animals at the port of entry or rely on weight documentation provided by the exporting country's veterinary authority. If an animal's weight falls outside the 200–320 kg range at the time of importation, it must be classified under the appropriate weight-based alternative line.
American bison (Bison bison) and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are distinct species that occupy separate HTS subheadings. The exclusion prevents misclassification of bison — which have their own tariff lines — as water buffalo. Importers should ensure veterinary health certificates clearly identify the species to avoid reclassification at the border. Consult a licensed customs broker if species documentation is unclear.
