Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when pelleted with milk replacer additives
Milk-containing feeds limited to 7.4M kg annually under quota restrictions.
If residues still contain significant residual oil (>10%)
High oil content may classify as soybean oil rather than extraction residue.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Protein content must be verified by NIR or wet chemistry; discrepancies lead to duty adjustments
• Hull removal documentation needed to distinguish from standard meal and prevent misclassification
• Mycotoxin testing (aflatoxin <20 ppb) mandatory for poultry feed imports

Soybean Oilcake Meal (Fine Ground)
Finely ground soybean oilcake resulting from the mechanical or solvent extraction of soybean oil, used primarily as a high-protein animal feed ingredient. Classified under HTS 2304.00.00 as it is a solid residue from soybean oil extraction, whether ground or pelleted. Typically contains 44-48% crude protein.
Soybean Expeller Cake (Pelleted)
Pelleted soybean expeller cake produced through mechanical pressing of soybeans to extract oil, retaining higher oil content (6-8%) than solvent-extracted meal. Falls under HTS 2304.00.00 as solid residues from soybean oil extraction in pellet form. Popular in dairy and beef cattle rations.
Soybean Extraction Pellets (44% Protein)
Standard 44% protein soybean pellets from solvent extraction, ground or pelleted post-extraction for easy handling. Classified in HTS 2304.00.00 explicitly covering pelleted residues from soybean oil production. Widely used in layer hen and broiler starter feeds.
Full-Fat Soybean Cake (Expeller Pressed)
Expeller-pressed full-fat soybean cake retaining 18-20% oil content due to mechanical extraction only. Still classified under HTS 2304.00.00 as soybean oil extraction residue, distinguished by higher fat. Used in organic poultry and piglet feeds.
