Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2302.30.00Same rate: 35%

If in pelleted form for bulk feed

Pelletizing changes the form, moving it to the dedicated pellets subheading irrespective of grain type.

2309.90.44Lower: 25% vs 35%

If when mixed with milk products under quota

Incorporation of dairy turns it into a restricted animal feed under 2309.90 with quantitative limits.

1105.10.00Same rate: 35%

If minimally processed as flour

Rye products ground fine enough for bread-making classify as flours in Chapter 11.

Import Tips & Compliance

Use photos or sieve analysis to prove 'chopped' particle size (2-10mm) distinguishing from ground or pellet forms

Declare origin country clearly, as rye residues may trigger specific country quotas or restrictions

Ensure no pesticide residues exceed feed safety limits per FDA import alerts

Ground Corn Bran

Ground corn bran is a byproduct derived from the sifting and milling of corn kernels, consisting of the outer hull and germ residues that are chopped or crushed into a fine powder. It falls under HTS 2302.40.01.10 as residues of corn (Zea mays), a single cereal grain, processed by grinding during milling. This product is commonly used as animal feed or in food formulations for fiber content.

Crushed Wheat Bran

Crushed wheat bran is the coarse outer layer residue obtained from wheat milling, chopped or crushed into smaller particles for easier handling. Classified under HTS 2302.40.01.10 as residues from a single cereal grain (wheat) processed beyond sifting. It serves as high-fiber livestock feed or baking additive.

Ground Barley Middlings

Ground barley middlings, or sharps, are the fine inner residues from barley sifting and milling, ground into meal-like consistency. This product matches HTS 2302.40.01.10 for single cereal grain (barley) residues in chopped/ground form. Primarily used in poultry and swine rations for nutrition.

Crushed Sorghum Bran

Crushed sorghum bran consists of the pericarp and germ residues from sorghum grain milling, crushed for feed applications. It qualifies under HTS 2302.40.01.10 as processed residues from a single cereal grain (sorghum). Popular in ethanol byproduct feeds for cattle.

Ground Millet Residues

Ground millet residues are the fine bran and middlings from proso millet milling, ground for uniform texture. HTS 2302.40.01.10 covers this single small cereal grain byproduct from sifting and working processes. Used in birdseed mixes and exotic animal diets.

Chopped Oats Sharps

Chopped oats sharps are the coarsely cut residues from oat groat milling and sifting. This fits HTS 2302.40.01.10 for other single cereal (oats) grains in chopped form. Essential in horse feeds for gut health.
