Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily corn bran or hominy feed without oil extraction
Bran, sharps, and other milling residues (not from oil extraction) fall under heading 2302.
If blended with vegetable proteins for compound feed
Mixed animal feeds with added ingredients shift to heading 2309 for prepared feeds.
If residues from starch extraction rather than oil
Residues from starch/glucose production from corn are classified under 2303.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify product is solely corn-derived residue post-oil extraction to avoid reclassification under 2302 for corn bran
• Provide mill test reports confirming no addition of milk derivatives to comply with Chapter 23 quantitative limits
• Label clearly as 'animal feed supplement' to prevent scrutiny as human food under different chapters
