What heading 2302 covers
When grain is cleaned, sifted or milled, some parts are left over. These leftovers are the goods in this heading. They are mostly sold as animal feed residues.
Bran is the outer layer of the grain. Sharps, also called middlings, are the finer bits that come off during milling. Residues from legumes, which are plants like beans, peas and lentils, count too.
The goods can be loose or pressed into bran pellets. The shape does not change the heading. The source plant does.
Wheat bran HS code 230230 and the other six-digit codes
The heading splits by the plant the residue came from. Here is what each code means in everyday words.
- 230240: other cereal bran. Use it for cereals that are not maize and not wheat.
- 230250: legume bran.
How to choose the right 2302 subcode
Start with one question: what plant did the residue come from? Maize goes to 230210. Wheat goes to 230230. Any other cereal, such as barley or oats, goes to 230240. A legume goes to 230250.
Next, check that the goods really are milling residues. If not, a neighbouring heading may fit better.
Heading 2303 is for leftovers from making starch, sugar, beer or spirits. Heading 2308 is for plant waste used in feed that is not named anywhere else. Heading 2309 is for prepared feed mixes. Soya-bean oil-cake belongs in heading 2304.
A blended or prepared feed is not a simple milling residue. That is the usual mistake. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier before you file.
