2302.40.01.05 - Of rice

This HTS classification, 2302.40.01.05, specifically covers residues derived from the processing of rice. These residues, which can include bran, sharps (middlings), and other by-products, are obtained through sifting, milling, or other working methods applied to rice. Such materials are typically utilized in the preparation of animal feed, reflecting their nutritional content and suitability for this purpose.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2302.40.01.10 applies to residues from other single cereal grains that have been chopped, crushed, or ground. Therefore, the key differentiating factor is the specific cereal source; this classification is exclusively for rice-derived residues, while the sibling covers residues from a broader range of other cereal grains in a processed form.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions at this level are determined by the definitive exclusion of residues from other cereals and the confirmation that the material originates from rice, irrespective of whether it is in pellet form or not. The "Other" designation at this level signifies a residual category for rice-derived materials not otherwise specified within more granular headings, provided they meet the general criteria for residues from rice processing.
