2304 — Oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil
Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2304 when importing oil-cake and other solid residues from soya-bean oil extraction. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of soya-bean meal pellets for animal feed, this code applies directly.
When deciding between HS-6 230400 and other potential headings, note that this line specifically refers to residues from soya-bean oil extraction. If your product is derived from a different oil source, you’ll need to look at other classifications.
If your shipment includes ground or unground oil-cake, it still falls under HS-4 2304. However, ensure that the product is indeed a residue from soya-bean oil extraction, as this will determine its proper classification.
