About HS Code 230250

This HS code covers bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the sifting, milling, or other workings of leguminous plants, whether or not in the form of pellets. These by-products, such as pea hulls, lentil hulls, and bean bran, are rich in fiber and often contain residual protein, making them valuable ingredients in animal feed, particularly for ruminants and monogastric animals. The international trade is driven by the global pulse processing industry, with major pulse-producing nations like Canada, Australia, and France exporting these residues to countries with significant livestock sectors. They play a crucial role in promoting sustainable feed solutions by effectively utilizing co-products from human food production, enhancing feed efficiency and reducing waste.

Products Under This Code
