Ground Palm Kernel Cake
Ground palm kernel cake is the finely milled solid byproduct from palm kernel oil solvent extraction plants, rich in protein and used in aquaculture feeds. Its granular form facilitates easy mixing into complete feeds for fish and shrimp farming. This qualifies for HTS 2306.60.00.00 as the direct residue from palm kernel fat extraction.

Palm Kernel Oilcake
Palm kernel oilcake is the solid residue obtained after extracting palm kernel oil from palm kernels through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is typically ground into meal form and used primarily as a high-protein ingredient in animal feed formulations for livestock such as poultry and pigs. This product falls under HTS 2306.60.00.00 as it is the oilcake resulting specifically from palm nuts or kernels.
Palm Kernel Expeller Meal
Palm kernel expeller meal is produced by mechanical expelling of oil from palm kernels, leaving a coarse, high-fiber residue pelletized or ground for feed use. It serves as a cost-effective protein source in ruminant diets due to its balanced amino acids and energy content. Classified under HTS 2306.60.00.00 for its origin as the solid residue from palm kernel oil extraction.
Pelletized Palm Kernel Oilcake
Pelletized palm kernel oilcake consists of compressed residues from palm kernel oil pressing, formed into uniform pellets for efficient transport and feed mill incorporation. Commonly used in dairy cattle rations for its digestible fiber. Falls under HTS 2306.60.00.00 whether ground, pelleted, or otherwise processed post-extraction.
Defatted Palm Kernel Meal
Defatted palm kernel meal results from solvent extraction removing most oil from palm kernels, yielding a high-protein (18-20%) powder for monogastric animal feeds. Its low fat content makes it ideal for broiler chicken diets. HTS 2306.60.00.00 covers this as the solid residue from microbial or vegetable fat extraction of palm kernels.
Palm Kernel Extraction Pellets
Palm kernel extraction pellets are solid residues post-oil extraction, steam-conditioned and pelleted for durability in swine feed applications. They provide essential minerals and bypass protein for better utilization. Classified under HTS 2306.60.00.00 specifically for palm nut/kernel origins.
Coarse Palm Kernel Cake
Coarse palm kernel cake is the unground press cake from screw-press extraction of palm kernels, used directly in beef cattle feedlots for roughage value. Its fibrous texture aids rumen function. This raw residue form fits HTS 2306.60.00.00 for palm kernel-derived oilcakes.
