HS-4 · Heading
2302 — Bran, sharps and other residues; whether or not in the form of pellets derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants
Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2302 when importing bran, sharps, and other residues from cereals or legumes, such as corn bran or wheat sharps. These products may be in pellet form or loose, depending on your supplier's processing methods.
Choosing the correct subheading is crucial. For instance, if your shipment consists of maize residues, you would classify it under HS-6 230210. However, if it’s derived from wheat, you should use HS-6 230230. The distinction lies in the source of the residues.
The line between HS-6 230240 and HS-6 230250 can also be tricky. If your product is a residue from oats or barley, it falls under HS-6 230240. But if it’s from soybeans or lentils, you should classify it under HS-6 230250. Ensure you know the original plant source to avoid misclassification.
