Millet Sharps
Fine particles and dust (sharps) obtained from the milling of millet grains, used as a protein-rich poultry feed ingredient. Falls under HTS 2302.40.0190 as residues from 'other cereals' not specifically enumerated like corn or wheat. Typically sold in bulk or pelleted form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from leguminous plants like field peas
Residues from legumes (e.g., pea bran) are separated into 2302.50, changing from cereal classification.
If pelleted with molasses or flavorings
Addition of non-cereal ingredients makes it a prepared animal feed under Chapter 23 heading 2309.
If further processed into bran suitable for human consumption
Refined cereal brans for food use shift to Chapter 11 flours and meals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label clearly as 'millet milling sharps' to distinguish from legume middlings under 2302.50
• Provide lab analysis showing >50% cereal content to prevent reclassification as mixed feed in 2309
• Monitor for sorghum contamination, as blends may shift to different 'other cereals' interpretations by CBP

Rice Bran Pellets
Pelleted residues derived from the sifting and milling of rice, primarily consisting of rice bran and hull fragments. Classified under HTS 2302.40.0190 as 'other' residues from other cereals (rice), excluding corn, wheat, or barley bran. Used mainly as a high-fiber animal feed supplement.
Sorghum Bran
Bran separated during the milling of sorghum (milo) grains, rich in fiber and used in ruminant livestock feed. HTS 2302.40.0190 covers this as 'other' cereal residues, excluding major grains like wheat. Often pelleted for easier handling and digestion.
Oats Middlings Pellets
Middlings (intermediate milling fractions) from oat processing, pelleted for animal nutrition. Classified in HTS 2302.40.0190 as residues from other cereals, providing beta-glucans for feed. Distinct from groats or flour in Chapter 11.
Rye Sharps Bulk
Bulk sharps from rye grain milling, consisting of fine bran particles for monogastric animal diets. HTS 2302.40.0190 applies to rye as an 'other cereal' residue from sifting. High in pentosans for feed formulation.
Triticale Bran Pellets
Pellets of bran from triticale (wheat-rye hybrid) milling, used in swine and poultry rations. As a non-enumerated cereal, it fits HTS 2302.40.0190 for other cereal residues. Offers balanced amino acids for nutrition.
Canary Seed Middlings
Middlings from the milling of canary seed (Phalaris canariensis), a small cereal for bird feed. HTS 2302.40.0190 covers these as other cereal residues. Fine particles enhance seed mixes for pet birds.
