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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from corn (maize) instead
Corn bran has its own specific subheading 2302.10, separating it from 'other cereals'.
If used as vegetable residues for non-ruminant feed
Acorns and similar are under 2308, but sorghum bran stays in 2302 unless reprocessed.
If containing milk derivatives for quota entry
Feeds with milk products enter under 2309.90 quotas, subject to annual limits per US note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include milling extraction records to prove it's a sifting residue, not a formulated feed
• Test for mycotoxins common in sorghum; non-compliant lots face rejection at port
• Avoid packaging as 'mixed grain bran' to prevent scrutiny under 2309 mixed preparations

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.
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.
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.
