CHAPTER

23 — Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder

In plain English

This category covers solid leftovers from making vegetable or microbial oils, which may be ground up or shaped into pellets. These residues exclude those already listed under other specific oil categories. The items are sorted into separate groups based on the specific plant source of the oil, such as cotton, linseed, sunflower, coconut, or palm. Other types of oil residues that do not fit the specific plant categories are placed in a general remaining group.

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.
