Chapter 23: Residues from food industries
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 230500 when importing or exporting oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of ground-nut oil. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of ground-nut cake used as animal feed, this is the correct code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers residues that may be unground or in pellet form, distinguishing it from other oil-cake products like those from soybeans or sunflowers, which fall under different codes.
If you're dealing with ground-nut oil extraction byproducts, it's important to note that HS-6 230500 applies to both whole and ground forms, while HS-6 2304 covers residues from other oil seeds.
When classifying your products, consider the end use. For instance, oil-cake from ground-nuts is often used in animal feed, whereas residues from other seeds may not have the same applications.
