Sunflower Oilcake Pellets from Germany
These are compressed pellets made from ground sunflower seed residues after oil extraction, facilitating easier handling and storage for livestock feed. The pelleting process does not alter the essential composition as oil extraction residue. Classified under HTS 2306.30.00.00 because the HTS explicitly includes residues 'whether or not ground or in the form of pellets' from sunflower seeds.

Import Tips
• Include pelleting process details in entry docs to confirm it remains oilcake, not a prepared feed under 2309
• Check for moisture content limits (typically under 12%) to meet feed safety standards and avoid mold issues
• Label clearly as 'animal feed ingredient' to distinguish from human food products during customs review
