Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 120190 when importing or exporting soya beans that are not intended for planting, such as processed beans for food production. For instance, if you're shipping roasted soya beans for snack foods, this code applies.
This code specifically covers soya beans that are not classified as seeds, which means they are processed or prepared for consumption. In contrast, HS-6 1201XX would apply to whole, unprocessed soya beans intended for planting.
When dealing with HS-6 120190, you might encounter products like soya bean meal or flour, which are by-products of processing. These products are often used in animal feed or as protein supplements in various food products.
It's important to differentiate between this code and HS-6 1201XX, as the latter pertains to whole soya beans. If your shipment includes soya beans that are broken or processed, HS-6 120190 is the correct classification.
