HTS US: 2308.00.00.00
Description
The HTS code 2308 covers a range of vegetable materials, vegetable waste, residues, and byproducts used primarily in animal feeding. These materials may be presented in various forms, including pellets, and are specifically distinguished by their origin from plant sources rather than animal. The classification includes materials not elsewhere specified or included in other headings.
These products typically serve as feed components or supplements in livestock diets and are derived from agricultural or food processing byproducts.
