Products classified under Tariff item 2306.10.00.00
Cottonseed Meal Pellets
Cottonseed meal pellets are produced by grinding the solid residues left after extracting oil from cotton seeds, then compressing them into pellet form for easier handling and feeding. They retain the nutritional profile of cottonseed meal, including high protein content, and are used as a livestock feed ingredient. As pellets of cottonseed oil extraction residues, they fall squarely under tariff item 2306.10.00.
2306.10.00Cottonseed Oilcake
Cottonseed oilcake is the solid residue remaining after cottonseed oil is extracted by mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is commonly ground into meal and used as a high-protein animal feed for livestock. This product directly matches the description of oil-cake and solid residues from cottonseed oil extraction under tariff item 2306.10.00.
2306.10.00Expeller Cottonseed Meal
Expeller cottonseed meal is produced by mechanically pressing cotton seeds, leaving a coarser residue with a higher fat content (5-6%) compared to solvent-extracted meal. It is used in poultry and swine feeds as a protein source. As a solid residue from cottonseed oil extraction, it falls under tariff item 2306.10.00.
2306.10.00Ground Cottonseed Cake
Ground cottonseed cake is cottonseed oil extraction residue that has been finely milled into powder or coarse meal for use in animal rations. It provides essential amino acids and energy for dairy and beef cattle. This product is a solid residue from cottonseed oil extraction, whether ground or not, and is therefore classified under tariff item 2306.10.00.
2306.10.00Solvent-Extracted Cottonseed Oilcake
Solvent-extracted cottonseed oilcake is produced by using chemical solvents to remove oil from cotton seeds, resulting in a low-fat (1-2%) meal ideal for high-protein dairy rations. It is often toasted to reduce gossypol toxicity. As a solid residue from cottonseed oil extraction, it falls under tariff item 2306.10.00.
2306.10.00Toasted Cottonseed Meal
Toasted cottonseed meal is cottonseed oil extraction residue that has been heat-treated to detoxify gossypol, making it safe for monogastric animals like pigs and chickens. This processing enhances digestibility while retaining 38-40% protein. It remains a solid residue from cottonseed oil extraction and is classified under tariff item 2306.10.00.
