2302.30.00 - Of wheat

This HTS category, 2302.30.00, specifically covers residues derived from the processing of wheat. These residues are byproducts generated during the sifting, milling, or other working of wheat, and can be in pelletized or unpelleted form. This classification applies to materials such as wheat bran, sharps, and middlings, which are commonly utilized as ingredients in animal feed due to their nutritional content.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its exclusive focus on wheat-derived products. For instance, 2302.10.00.00 pertains to residues from corn (maize), 2302.40.01 covers residues from other cereals not specifically enumerated, and 2302.50.00.00 relates to residues originating from leguminous plants. Therefore, proper classification hinges on accurately identifying the primary cereal or legume from which the residue is derived.

Further subdivisions exist within this category to refine classification. The subcategory 2302.30.00.10 is designated for bran, shorts, and middlings, which are specific types of wheat processing residues. The residual subcategory, 2302.30.00.90, encompasses all other wheat residues not specifically falling under the definition of bran, shorts, or middlings, ensuring a comprehensive classification for all byproducts of wheat milling.
