About HS Code 110320
This HS code specifically covers cereal pellets, which are compressed forms of cereal groats or meal. These pellets are primarily traded for use in animal feed, offering advantages in terms of storage efficiency, reduced dust, and easier handling compared to loose meal. Large agricultural corporations, feed manufacturers, and livestock industries are the main players in this international trade. The production process involves compacting the cereal material, often with binders, into uniform shapes. The global market for cereal pellets is closely tied to the livestock industry's demand for cost-effective and nutrient-dense feed, making it a significant commodity in agricultural trade.
