2303.10.00.40 - Other

This category, HTS 2303.10.00.40, encompasses "Other" residues resulting from starch manufacture and similar processes that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the 2303.10.00.00 heading. It is designed to capture a residual group of materials that arise from the production of starches, such as those derived from corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca, and similar processing byproducts. These substances are typically byproducts of the extraction of starches and may include various fractions or screenings from these manufacturing operations.

This "Other" category is distinct from its sibling entries, "Corn gluten feed" (2303.10.00.10) and "Corn gluten meal" (2303.10.00.20). Those specific classifications are reserved for well-defined co-products of corn wet-milling, which have distinct protein and fiber content profiles and established uses as animal feed. HTS 2303.10.00.40 is for residues that do not fit the precise definitions of gluten feed or gluten meal, or are derived from starches other than corn.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a product within HTS 2303.10.00.40 hinges on its origin from starch manufacture or similar processes, its physical characteristics, and the absence of classification under more specific provisions like corn gluten feed or meal. Practical classification will rely on understanding the specific manufacturing process that generated the residue and its composition.
