Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If resulting from oil extraction residue for animal feed
Soybean extraction residues for feed fall under heading 2304 as soy grits or meal, not flours for human consumption.
If mixed with other ingredients as protein supplement
Blends with additives become food preparations under 2106, not pure oil seed flours.
If heavily processed into textured vegetable protein
Advanced processing changes it from Chapter 12 flour to Chapter 11 cereal flours or starches.
