Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 230240 when importing or exporting bran, sharps, and other residues from cereals like oats or barley. For instance, if you're shipping oat bran in bulk for animal feed, this code applies.
This code specifically covers residues from cereals other than wheat, such as barley and oats. If you're dealing with wheat bran, consider HS-6 230230 instead, which is designated for wheat residues.
Bran and other residues classified under this code can be in various forms, including loose bulk or pellets. This flexibility is important for feed manufacturers who require specific forms for their production processes.
When classifying products, be aware that the distinction between different types of cereal residues can affect duties and regulations. Always check if your product aligns with the definitions under this HS-6.
