Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 230690 when importing or exporting oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of vegetable or microbial oils. For example, if you're shipping a container of ground oil-cake made from sunflower seeds, this code applies.
This code specifically covers residues that result from oil extraction processes not classified under headings 2304 or 2305. If you’re dealing with solid residues from olive oil extraction, you would use a different code.
In contrast to HS-6 230610, which pertains to residues from the extraction of soybean oil, HS-6 230690 includes a broader range of oil-cake from various sources, such as rapeseed or palm oil, whether ground or in pellet form.
When classifying your product, consider whether it is in bulk, bagged, or pelleted. The form can influence the final classification, so be precise about the product's packaging and intended use.
