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.
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.
