Solvent-Extracted Cottonseed Oilcake from Germany
Solvent-extracted cottonseed oilcake results from chemical solvent removal of oil from cotton seeds, producing low-fat (1-2%) meal ideal for high-protein dairy rations. It is often toasted to reduce gossypol toxicity. HTS 2306.10.00.00 covers this as the primary form of cotton seed solid residues.

Import Tips
• Provide solvent type (usually hexane) safety data; residues must be defatted per FDA feed regs
• Gossypol inactivation proof (toasting certs) required for whole/herd feed approvals
• Enter under quota-free status; confirm no milk derivatives to bypass 2309 limits
