2303.20.00.20 - Dried beet-pulp

This HTS classification, 2303.20.00.20, specifically covers dried beet-pulp. Beet-pulp is a residue obtained from the processing of sugar beets, primarily after the extraction of sugar. The key characteristic for this classification is that the material is in a *dried* form. This dried beet-pulp is commonly used as an ingredient in animal feed due to its high fiber content.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2303.20.00.40 "Other," by its specific identification as dried beet-pulp. While both fall under the broader umbrella of waste from sugar manufacture, this subcategory carves out a distinct tariff treatment for a specific, dried form of a common sugar processing byproduct. The "Other" category would encompass any other residues or waste from sugar manufacture that do not fit the specific description of dried beet-pulp.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for dried beet-pulp. Classification is therefore determined solely by the presence of dried beet-pulp derived from sugar beet processing. The focus is on the physical state (dried) and the origin (sugar beet processing) to ensure accurate tariff application.
