About HS Code 230210
This HS code covers bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the sifting, milling, or other workings of maize (corn), whether or not in the form of pellets. These by-products are rich in fiber and contain residual nutrients, making them valuable and economical ingredients for animal feed, particularly for livestock. The international trade in maize milling residues is closely tied to the global corn processing industry. Major corn-producing and processing countries like the USA, Brazil, and Argentina are significant exporters, while countries with substantial livestock populations and feed manufacturing sectors, such as the Netherlands, Spain, and Mexico, are primary importers. These residues contribute to sustainable agriculture by utilizing co-products from human food production.
