Expeller Pressed Sunflower Cake from Mexico
Expeller pressed sunflower cake is produced by mechanical pressing of sunflower seeds to extract oil, yielding a high-fiber cake with residual oil content around 1-2%. It serves as a cost-effective ruminant feed due to its digestibility. This qualifies for HTS 2306.30.00.00 as the solid residue directly from sunflower seed oil extraction.

Import Tips
• Submit extraction method certificates (expeller vs. solvent) as solvent-extracted may have different residual solvent regs
• Test for residual oil content to ensure it's under feed safety thresholds and properly declared
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'seed cake' without specifying sunflower origin, risking general classification
