Craft Beer Spent Hops from Mexico
Craft beer spent hops are the exhausted hop cones left after the brewing process extracts their bittering and aromatic compounds. They are a residue of beer production, sometimes pelleted for use in niche fiber feeds or soil amendments, and are classified as brewing waste under tariff item 2303.30.00.
