Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from specific sorghum varieties
Statistical breakdowns within 2302.40 exist for milo or other sorghum subtypes.
If screened and mixed for prepared feeds
Post-processing into compound feeds moves to preparations of Chapter 23 heading 2309.
If considered cereal straw
Coarser, unground residues resembling straw classify under heading 1213 for cereal waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm sorghum origin with DNA testing if contested, as it differs from corn in tariff treatment
• Package in breathable bags to prevent mold; include ventilation certificates for entry
• Avoid blends with legumes, which reclassify under different 2302 subheadings

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.
Chopped Rye Sharps
Chopped rye sharps are the fragmented endosperm and bran residues from rye grain milling operations. HTS 2302.40.01.10 applies to this single-cereal (rye) byproduct in chopped form from sifting processes. Valued in ruminant diets for digestible fiber.
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.
