About HS Code 230641
This specific code covers the oil-cake derived from low erucic acid rapeseed (commonly known as canola), a major protein source in animal feed, particularly for cattle, swine, and poultry. Canola meal is highly valued for its balanced amino acid profile and is a staple in many feed formulations. International trade is substantial, driven by the global demand for canola oil and the subsequent availability of this feed ingredient. Major canola-producing countries are key exporters, supplying feed manufacturers and livestock operations worldwide. The EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) flag highlights increasing attention to the sustainable sourcing of these products, requiring due diligence on land use.
