About HS Code 230230
This HS code pertains to bran, sharps, and other residues obtained from the sifting, milling, or other workings of wheat, whether or not in the form of pellets. These fibrous and nutrient-rich by-products are widely traded as essential components in animal feed formulations for cattle, poultry, and pigs, offering valuable fiber and energy. While primarily for animal consumption, some wheat bran also finds its way into human food products as a fiber supplement. The trade is substantial, driven by the global wheat processing industry, with major wheat-producing and milling countries like the EU, Russia, and the USA being key exporters. Countries with significant livestock sectors, such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain, are primary importers, seeking cost-effective feed ingredients.
