2309.90.10.50 - Other

This HTS category, 2309.90.10.50, encompasses "Other" prepared animal feed preparations that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the "Other" designation. It serves as a residual classification for animal feedstuffs that are formulated and intended for consumption by animals but lack a more precise description within the tariff schedule. These preparations are typically mixtures designed to provide nutritional support for various animal species, encompassing a broad range of ingredients and formulations.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its residual nature. For instance, while 2309.90.10.05 specifically covers bird seed, and 2309.90.10.15 is designated for other pet foods sold directly to consumers, and other sibling categories address specific categories of poultry or cattle feeds, this particular subheading is for all other prepared animal feeds not otherwise specified. Therefore, its scope is determined by what is *not* explicitly classified elsewhere within the 2309.90.10 series.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2309.90.10.50 is therefore dependent on the careful exclusion from more narrowly defined categories. Importers and exporters should ensure that their products do not meet the criteria for any preceding, more specific HTS codes within Chapter 23, particularly within heading 2309, before classifying them under this "Other" designation.
