2304.00.00.90 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 2304.00.00.90 specifically covers "Other" oilcake and other solid residues resulting from the extraction of soybean oil, provided they are not certified organic. This category encompasses a broad range of these byproducts that do not meet the specific criteria for certified organic status. These residues are primarily the solid material left after soybean oil has been mechanically or chemically extracted, often utilized as animal feed due to their high protein content.

This classification differentiates itself from its sibling category, 2304.00.00.10, which is exclusively for oilcake and solid residues certified as organic. Therefore, if a shipment of soybean oilcake does not possess a valid organic certification, it will fall under this "Other" classification. The distinction is crucial for customs purposes and determining applicable duties and regulations, as organic products often have specific import requirements.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2304.00.00.90 is determined by the absence of organic certification and the material's origin from soybean oil extraction. Practical classification relies on verifying the source of the residue and checking for any accompanying documentation that might indicate organic status.
