This classification covers live cows imported into the United States specifically for immediate slaughter, each weighing 320 kg or more, not elsewhere specified or included.

Importers must provide a USDA APHIS veterinary import permit, a health certificate from the country of origin's competent authority, and comply with CBP entry requirements. Animals must proceed directly to an approved slaughter facility.
The immediate slaughter designation places these animals in a specific tariff subheading that may carry different duty rates than cattle imported for feeding or breeding. Importers should verify applicable rates under USMCA or other FTAs, as country of origin significantly impacts duty treatment.
The 320 kg weight threshold distinguishes heavier, mature slaughter-ready animals from lighter cattle, which fall under separate HTS subheadings. This distinction affects both tariff classification and USDA inspection protocols at the port of entry.
