2303 — Residues of starch manufacture, similar residues; beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste, whether or not in the form of pellets
Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2303 when importing or exporting residues from starch manufacture, such as corn or potato starch by-products, including those packaged as pellets. These residues are often used in animal feed or as organic fertilizers.
To determine the correct HS-6 code, consider the source of the residue. For example, HS-6 230310 applies to starch residues, while HS-6 230320 covers beet-pulp and bagasse from sugar production. If your shipment includes brewing waste, you would use HS-6 230330.
When assessing whether to classify your product under HS-6 230320 or HS-6 230330, note that beet-pulp and bagasse are specifically from sugar manufacturing, whereas brewing dregs are by-products of fermentation processes. The end-use of these materials can also guide your classification.
