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.
