HS-4 2306: Oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of vegetable or microbial fats or oils, other than those of heading no. 2304 or 2305

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2306 when importing oil-cake and solid residues from the extraction of vegetable or microbial oils, like cotton seed oil pellets. These products are often used in animal feed, making it crucial to classify them correctly for customs.

When deciding among the HS-6 lines, consider the source of the oil. For instance, HS-6 230610 covers residues from cotton seed oils, while HS-6 230620 is specific to linseed oils. If your product is derived from sunflower seeds, you would use HS-6 230630.

If your oil-cake comes from low erucic acid rape or colza seed oils, you should classify it under HS-6 230641. In contrast, if it’s from other types of rape seed oils, you’ll need HS-6 230649. This distinction is essential for accurate tariff application.

For residues from coconut or copra seed oils, select HS-6 230650. If your product is derived from palm nuts or kernels, then HS-6 230660 is the appropriate choice. The final option, HS-6 230690, is for any other oil residues not specified in the previous lines.
