Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used for industrial extraction rather than animal feed
Vegetable residues not designated for animal feeding classify under 1214 as 'other' vegetable materials.
If derived from flax but resembling bran-like residues
Bran, sharps, and similar cereal byproducts fall under 2302; misidentified flax chaff could shift there if not clearly vegetable seed waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label clearly as 'flaxseed chaff for animal feed only' to prevent misuse classification as human food under different chapters
• Conduct moisture content tests pre-shipment; high moisture risks mold and rejection under USDA import standards
• Use ISF filings early due to agricultural product status and potential APHIS inspections
