Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 230800 when importing or exporting vegetable materials and residues that are specifically used in animal feed. This code applies to products like spent grains from brewing or oilseed meals that are not classified elsewhere.

When considering shipments, remember that this classification can include both raw and processed materials. For example, you might find yourself shipping alfalfa meal or beet pulp, which are often used in livestock diets.
