HTS US: 2303.XX.XXXX
Description
This heading covers various residues and waste materials generated during the manufacture of starch and sugar, as well as by-products from brewing and distilling processes. These materials may be presented in loose or pellet form and are typically used in animal feed or for other industrial purposes.
- Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues: These include by-products like corn gluten feed and corn gluten meal, which are nutrient-rich and commonly used as livestock feed.
- Beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture: This category encompasses dried beet-pulp and other fibrous waste materials resulting from sugar extraction processes.
- Brewing or distilling dregs and waste: These are the leftover solids and residues from the fermentation and distillation of alcoholic beverages.

Detailed Breakdown of Subheadings
The 4-digit HS heading 2303 is subdivided into specific 6-digit and 10-digit codes that identify precise types of residues and wastes within this category.
| HS/HTS Code | Description | Examples & Notes |

| 2303.10.00 | Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues | By-products from starch processing, mainly used as animal feed. |
| 2303.10.00.10 | Corn gluten feed | A coarse by-product obtained after starch extraction from corn, rich in proteins and fiber. |
| 2303.10.00.20 | Corn gluten meal | Finer fraction than corn gluten feed, higher in protein content. |
| 2303.10.00.40 | Other | Other starch manufacture residues not classified above. |
| 2303.20.00 | Beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture | Fibrous residues from sugar extraction processes. |
| 2303.20.00.20 | Dried beet-pulp | Dehydrated fibrous residue from sugar beet processing, widely used as livestock feed. |
| 2303.20.00.40 | Other | Other sugar manufacture wastes such as bagasse. |
| 2303.30.00.00 | Brewing or distilling dregs and waste | Solid residues and waste materials from brewing or distilling alcoholic beverages. |
What is NOT Classified Here?
To avoid incorrect classification, note the following exclusions:
- Processed or prepared animal fodder: Finished feed products formulated for direct use are classified under different headings.
- Other agricultural wastes: Residues not specifically from starch, sugar, brewing or distilling manufacture fall under other chapters.
Notes
- Usage: Most products under this heading are utilized as animal feed ingredients due to their nutritional content, especially protein and fiber.
- Physical Form: These residues can be supplied either loose or compressed into pellets to facilitate transportation and storage.
- Regulatory Considerations: Import and export of these materials may be subject to agricultural or environmental regulations depending on the country.
