Canola Meal Pellets
Pelletized canola meal is the solid residue left after extracting oil from low erucic acid rapeseed (canola), ground and formed into uniform pellets for easy handling and mixing into animal feed. It falls under HTS 2306.49.00.00 as 'other' oilcake from rape or colza seeds, excluding those specified in headings 2304 or 2305. This product is primarily used as a high-protein livestock feed supplement.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the oil extraction source is from low erucic acid rapeseed (canola) to confirm classification under 2306.41/49; provide extraction process documentation
• Ensure product is free of meat/soybean residues to avoid reclassification under 2304 or 2305; include lab analysis certificates
• Check for pellet integrity during shipping to prevent dust loss, which could affect weight-based duties or feed quality standards

Rapeseed Oilcake Meal
Ground rapeseed oilcake meal is the defatted solid residue from high-erucic acid colza seed oil extraction, commonly used in ruminant feed rations for its protein and fiber content. Classified under HTS 2306.49.00.00 as 'other' residues from rape/colza seeds beyond low-erucic acid types. It provides essential amino acids for dairy and beef cattle diets.
Colza Seed Extraction Pellets
Pellets made from colza seed press cake after mechanical or solvent oil extraction, serving as a fiber-rich feed ingredient for poultry and swine. This product is categorized under HTS 2306.49.00.00 for other rapeseed/colza residues not of low-erucic type or soybean/groundnut. It supports digestive health in animal nutrition.
Low-Erucic Rapeseed Cake Fines
Fine-ground particles from low-erucic rapeseed oilcake, often a byproduct of pelleting, used in aquaculture feeds. Though from low-erucic seeds, classified as 'other' under HTS 2306.49.00.00 if not meeting exact subheading 2306.41 pellet specs. High digestibility makes it ideal for fish meal substitutes.
Expeller-Pressed Canola Cake
Coarse expeller-pressed canola cake from mechanical oil extraction, retaining higher oil content for energy-dense ruminant feed. Falls under HTS 2306.49.00.00 as other rapeseed residues. Preferred for its natural flavor and palatability in beef finishing diets.
