About HS Code 230110

This HS code covers flours, meals, and pellets derived from meat or meat offal, as well as greaves. These products are crucial by-products of the meat processing industry, primarily utilized as high-protein ingredients in animal feed, pet food, and sometimes as organic fertilizers. The international trade in these commodities is significant, driven by the global demand for cost-effective and nutrient-rich feed components. Major livestock-producing nations, such as the USA, Brazil, and EU countries, are key exporters, while countries with large animal feed sectors and pet food industries, like China, Vietnam, and the Netherlands, are primary importers. Strict quality and safety standards, including regulations on origin and processing, are paramount due to their end-use in the food chain.
