Import Tips & Compliance
• Include processing method details (expeller vs solvent) in entry docs to distinguish from raw cakes under Chapter 12
• Test for glucosinolate levels in high-erucic varieties, as high levels may limit use in monogastric feeds
• Use ventilated containers to manage oil content and prevent rancidity en route

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.
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.
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.
