Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from bran of leguminous plants like soybeans
Legume milling residues are distinctly classified apart from cereal types.
If dried shelled corn cobs rather than milled bran
Corn cobs as vegetable products fall under Chapter 7 for manioc and similar.
If acorns or horse-chestnuts processed similarly
Specific provisions for those vegetable residues exclude general cereal bran.
