Last updated: April 2026 dataNon-purebred live buffalo under this heading notably include American bison (0102390010), which are classified here alongside water buffalo not qualifying as purebred breeders. The heading's weight-based lines — covering females from 200 to under 320 kg (0102390058) and males and females at 320 kg and above (0102390082, 0102390084) — parallel the structure used for non-purebred cattle.

The HTS follows the Harmonized System's biological taxonomy, which groups bison with buffalo (genus Bubalus and related bovids) rather than with cattle (genus Bos). American bison (Bison bison) are specifically enumerated at 0102390010 within this heading, distinguishing them from water buffalo on the same tariff line page.
Yes. Live bison imports require APHIS import permits and health certificates, and admissibility depends on the exporting country's disease status for conditions relevant to bovids. Importers should confirm current APHIS requirements for the specific origin country, as bison trade is low-volume and country-specific protocols may be less routinely updated than those for cattle.
