2302.40.01 - Of other cereals

This HTS category, 2302.40.01 "Of other cereals," encompasses residues and waste derived from the sifting, milling, or other working of cereal grains *not* specifically listed under preceding subheadings within 2302. This includes materials originating from grains like barley, oats, rye, sorghum, millet, and buckwheat, among others. The products are typically in the form of bran, sharps (middlings), or other coarse particles, and may be supplied in bulk or pelleted form, intended primarily for animal feed.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 2302.10.00.00 specifically covers residues of corn (maize), 2302.30.00 relates to residues of wheat, and 2302.50.00.00 is designated for residues from leguminous plants. Therefore, classification under 2302.40.01 is reserved for those "other cereals" not falling into these explicitly defined groups.

The subcategories within 2302.40.01 further refine the classification based on the specific form or origin of the residue. 2302.40.01.05 addresses residues specifically from rice, a common and distinct cereal. The subsequent subdivision, 2302.40.01.10, is for residues from other single cereal grains that have undergone further processing such as chopping, crushing, or grinding, indicating a more refined physical state. The remaining "Other" category serves as a catch-all for residues not meeting the criteria of the preceding subheadings but still originating from "other cereals."
