2302.50.00.00 - Of leguminous plants

This HTS category, 2302.50.00.00, specifically encompasses residues and waste derived from the processing of leguminous plants, such as beans, lentils, peas, and soybeans. These products typically result from the sifting, milling, or other working of these plants for food or feed purposes and are often in the form of bran, sharps, or middlings, which may be pelletized. This classification is dedicated solely to materials originating from leguminous plants, distinguishing it from residues derived from cereals.

The distinction between this category and its siblings is based on the source material. HTS code 2302.10.00.00 covers residues from corn (maize), 2302.30.00 from wheat, and 2302.40.01 from other cereals. Therefore, the critical factor for classification under 2302.50.00.00 is that the residue must originate from leguminous plants, not from cereal grains.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 2302.50.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Classification into this specific code hinges on the affirmative identification of the material as a residue from leguminous plants. This means that any byproduct from the milling or processing of beans, peas, lentils, or similar leguminous crops, when presented as bran, sharps, middlings, or in pelletized form, would fall under this classification.
