Overview
This HTS classification, 2303.30.00.00, specifically covers the dregs and waste generated from brewing and distilling processes. This encompasses a variety of by-products, such as spent grains from brewing beer or distilling spirits, yeast sediment, and other residual materials resulting from the fermentation and separation stages. These materials are often characterized by their high moisture content and are typically considered unusable for direct human consumption in their raw form.
While this category falls under the broader heading of "Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues, beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste," it is distinct from its siblings. Category 2303.10.00 pertains to residues from starch production, such as corn gluten feed or wheat middlings, while 2303.20.00 covers waste from sugar manufacturing, like molasses or sugar beet pulp. Therefore, 2303.30.00.00 is specifically reserved for materials originating from alcoholic beverage production.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 2303.30.00.00. Classification at this level is determined by the direct origin of the waste material, irrespective of whether it has been dried, pelleted, or otherwise processed for storage or transport, provided it retains its fundamental identity as brewing or distilling dregs and waste.
