If purebred breeding animals
Purebred breeding buffalo females are classified under specific breeding subheadings in 0102.21, not the 'other' category.
If weighing less than 200 kg
Buffalo under 200 kg fall into lighter weight categories within the same other buffalo heading.
If classified as asses or swine mistakenly
Misidentification of species would shift to other live animal chapters, but buffalo are distinctly bovine.
