2309.90.10.35 - Swine feed, prepared

This HTS code, 2309.90.10.35, specifically classifies "Swine feed, prepared." It encompasses complete feeds or feed ingredients that have undergone processing and are intended for consumption by pigs. This preparation can include various combinations of grains, protein meals, vitamins, minerals, and other additives formulated to meet the specific nutritional requirements of swine at different life stages, such as starter, grower, or finisher feeds. The key defining characteristic is its intended use for swine.

When distinguishing this category from its siblings, it's crucial to note the specificity of the animal. While other categories within 2309.90.10 address bird seed (2309.90.10.05), other pet food (2309.90.10.15), poultry feeds (2309.90.10.20), and various cattle feeds (2309.90.10.30 and 2309.90.10.32), this code is exclusively for swine. Therefore, a prepared feed intended for pigs, even if it shares some common ingredients with other animal feeds, will be classified here if its formulation is specifically designed for swine.

As a leaf node, 2309.90.10.35 represents a specific and final classification level. There are no further subdivisions under this code. Classification into this category relies on the confirmed intended use for swine and the fact that the product is a prepared feed or a compound feed ingredient specifically formulated for this livestock. Documentation confirming the product's composition, intended use, and any relevant veterinary or agricultural certifications will be essential for accurate classification.
