Analysis
HTS 0103.10.00 covers purebred breeding animals under heading 0103 (live swine).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 73% of the 26 tariff lines in chapter 01 that are also free. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
The other lines in the same group are 0103.91.00 (weighing less than 50 kg each, duty-free) and 0103.92.00 (weighing 50 kg or more each, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112210 (Hog and Pig Farming), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
