Import Tips & Compliance
• Pellet size uniformity (5-8mm diameter) affects transport efficiency; irregular sizes increase shipping costs
• Urease index testing (<0.2 mg N/g/min) proves proper heat treatment during processing
• Declare country of origin precisely; Argentina/Brazil dominate supply with favorable duty treatment

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.
Dehulled Soybean Meal 48% Protein
High-protein (48% min) soybean meal from dehulled, solvent-extracted soybeans, with hulls removed for improved digestibility. HTS 2304.00.00 covers all forms of soybean oil extraction residues, including dehulled varieties. Standard ingredient in swine and poultry 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.
