Analysis
HTS 0103.92.00 covers weighing 50 kg or more each under heading 0103 (live swine). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items and kilograms.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 73% of the 26 tariff lines in chapter 01, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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 0103.10.00 (purebred breeding animals, duty-free) and 0103.91.00 (weighing less than 50 kg each, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112210 (Hog and Pig Farming). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The ten-digit suffixes separate imported for immediate slaughter and breeding animals other than purebred…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
