Cottonseed Meal Pellets from United States
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.
