Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 230649 when importing or exporting oil-cake and solid residues from the extraction of rape seed oils, such as those used in animal feed. For example, a shipment of ground rape seed oil cake packed in 50 kg bags qualifies under this code.
This code specifically covers residues from non-low erucic acid rape seed oil extraction, distinguishing it from similar codes like HS-6 230640, which pertains to residues from low erucic acid rape. If your product is derived from low erucic acid rape, you’ll need to classify it differently.
When considering HS-6 230649, keep in mind that it includes both ground and unground forms of oil-cake. This means whether your product is in bulk or packaged as pellets, it still falls under this classification.
Understanding the nuances of this code is crucial for compliance and accurate duty assessment. Ensure that your product documentation clearly states the source and form of the oil-cake to avoid misclassification.
