Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 120110 when importing or exporting soya beans, whether they are whole or broken. For instance, a shipment of 20 tons of whole soya beans for animal feed would fall under this code.
This code specifically targets soya beans, a key agricultural commodity used in food products, animal feed, and oil extraction. In contrast, HS-6 120190 covers other types of oil seeds that are not soya beans.
Soya beans classified under HS-6 120110 are typically unprocessed, though they can also be broken into smaller pieces. This distinction is important for determining tariffs and import regulations.
