Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Differentiate from oat hulls (often 1214) with fiber analysis reports

β€’ Ensure no heat treatment that could classify as prepared feed in 2309

β€’ Declare exact cereal source; oats as 'other cereals' avoids wheat-specific duties

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.

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.

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.
