Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If End-use as formulated animal feed bran
Pellets primarily for animal consumption shift to Chapter 23 as beet/pellet-based feeds, based on principal use.
If sliced or chips, not pellets
Other dried forms of similar tubers like sweet potatoes use different subheadings; form dictates pellet-specific code.
If cooked or preserved
Any cooking or sweetening moves to Chapter 20 for vegetable preparations, no longer provisional preservation.
