Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2306.30.00
Coarse Sunflower Press Cake
Coarse sunflower press cake is the unground, chunky residue from screw-press extraction of sunflower seeds, retaining hull fragments for ruminant roughage. It is valued for its fiber content in dairy cow diets and falls under tariff item 2306.30.00 as a solid residue from oil extraction.
Dehulled Sunflower Seed Cake
Dehulled sunflower seed cake is the residue from oil extraction of sunflower seeds after hull removal, offering higher protein (up to 42%) and lower fiber for monogastric animals. The dehulling process does not change its status as an extraction residue, so it remains under tariff item 2306.30.00.
Expeller Pressed Sunflower Cake
Expeller pressed sunflower cake is produced by mechanical pressing of sunflower seeds to extract oil, yielding a high-fiber cake with residual oil content around 1-2%. It serves as a cost-effective ruminant feed and is classified under tariff item 2306.30.00 as a solid residue from oil extraction.
Solvent Extracted Sunflower Meal
Solvent extracted sunflower meal is a fine-ground residue from solvent extraction of sunflower seeds, removing most oil and leaving a protein concentrate around 35-40% protein. It is commonly used in poultry and swine rations and falls under tariff item 2306.30.00 as a solid residue from oil extraction.
Sunflower Oilcake Pellets
Sunflower oilcake pellets are compressed pellets made from ground sunflower seed residues after oil extraction, facilitating easier handling and storage for livestock feed. The pelleting process does not alter the essential composition, and the product remains under tariff item 2306.30.00 as a solid residue from oil extraction.
Sunflower Seed Meal
Sunflower seed meal is the solid residue left after extracting sunflower oil from sunflower seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is typically ground into a coarse powder and used primarily as a protein supplement in animal feed, falling under tariff item 2306.30.00.
