2308.00.98 - Other

This HTS classification, 2308.00.98, encompasses vegetable materials, waste, residues, and byproducts, in either ground or pelletized form, specifically intended for animal feed and not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 23. It represents a residual category for items that do not fit into more specifically defined groups within heading 2308.

Distinguishing this "Other" category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 2308.00.10.00 specifically covers acorns and horse-chestnuts, and 2308.00.93.00 deals with screenings, scalpings, chaff, or scourings of flaxseed, and 2308.00.95.00 identifies dehydrated marigolds, this category 2308.00.98 serves as a catch-all for other vegetable-based animal feed components. For instance, it would include materials like vegetable processing waste not otherwise specified, or byproducts from agricultural processes that are suitable for animal consumption and do not fall under the more precise sibling descriptions.

Within this broader category, further sub-classification exists to provide greater specificity. The subcategory 2308.00.98.20 is designated for citrus pulp pellets, a common byproduct of citrus juice production used in animal feed. The remaining items that fit the general description of heading 2308 but are not citrus pulp pellets are then classified under the residual 2308.00.98.90, ensuring a comprehensive classification framework for all eligible vegetable materials used in animal feed.
