About HS Code 230330
This HS code encompasses the various solid and semi-solid by-products generated during the brewing of beer and the distillation of spirits. These materials, such as spent grains, yeast, and other residues, are highly valued in the animal feed industry, especially for cattle, due to their rich protein and fiber content. They can also find applications in biogas production or as organic fertilizers. International trade involves breweries and distilleries selling their waste products to feed manufacturers or brokers, often in bulk or pelletized form to reduce transport costs. The market is influenced by the scale of beverage production and the demand from the livestock sector.
