Hemp Seed Oilcake Meal
Hemp seed oilcake meal is the solid residue left after extracting hemp seed oil through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is typically ground into a coarse meal form and used as a high-protein animal feed supplement. This product falls under HTS 2306.90.01.30 as it is specifically the oilcake from hemp seeds, distinct from residues of other oilseeds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unprocessed or minimally processed seeds
Whole or crushed hemp seeds without oil extraction fall under Chapter 12 as oil seeds, not extraction residues.
If roasted or otherwise heat-processed before oil extraction
Residues from roasted oil seeds like sunflower or safflower are classified in 2302.50, but hemp may shift based on processing.
If mixed with other ingredients for prepared animal feed
Blends of vegetable residues with additives become 'other preparations' under 2309, not pure oilcake.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the residue originates solely from hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa) with documentation like processing certificates to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with USDA and FDA regulations for animal feed imports, including tests for THC levels below 0.3%
• Provide detailed extraction method records to distinguish from crude vegetable materials under Chapter 12
