Purebred breeding buffalo — animals registered or registerable with a recognized herdbook — enter the US under this heading, which the US schedule subdivides to distinguish male non-dairy buffalo (0102310010) from the broader category (0102310000). Canada is the sole recorded supplier under this heading, reflecting the cross-border movement of registered bison and water buffalo stock within integrated North American breeding programs. All live bovine and buffalo imports require USDA APHIS health certification and veterinary inspection at entry, with additional testing protocols that vary by species and country of origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP generally requires registration papers or a certificate of pedigree from a recognized breed association demonstrating that the animal is registered or eligible for registration in an approved herdbook. A commercial invoice stating the animal's intended use for breeding, along with the USDA APHIS import permit and health certificate, rounds out the standard documentation package. Animals that cannot be documented as purebred breeding stock are classified under the non-purebred heading 010239.
Yes. HTS heading 0102 covers bovine animals other than cattle, encompassing both water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and American bison (Bison bison). Purebred breeding animals of either species fall under 010231, while non-purebred or non-breeding animals — including live bison — are classified under 010239. The distinction between species matters for APHIS health protocols, which differ between water buffalo and bison.
