HS HEADING 2305

Oil-cake and other solid residues; whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of ground-nut oil

In plain English

This category includes solid leftovers from making peanut oil, regardless of whether they are crushed or shaped into small pellets. These materials are specifically defined as the byproducts remaining after the oil has been extracted from peanuts. The classification system places all such residues under a single, unified code without further subdivision.

Chapter 23 classification notes

Chapter 23 covers significant trade volumes including pet food. Pet food destined for retail sale must comply with destination veterinary + labelling rules; personal-quantity pet-food carriage with the pet usually clears as personal effects.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Pet food 2309.10 (dog/cat) vs 2309.90 (other animal feed); commercial-grade animal feed has different duty than retail pet food.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
