2303 10 — Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues

2303 Residues from the production of starch and similar residues, beet pulp, bagasse, or sugar cane pulp, and other wastes from the production of sugar, bard and other wastes of brewing or distillation, ungranulated or granulated: 2303 10 – residues from the production of starch and similar residues 2303 20 – beet pulp, bagass, or sugar cane pulp, and other wastes of sugar production 2303 30 – bard and other wastes of brewing or distillation

This heading includes, inter alia: (A) Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues (from maize, rice, potatoes, etc.), consisting mainly of fibrous and proteinous matter and generally presented in the form of pellets or meal, and sometimes in the form of cakes. They are used as animal fodder or as fertilisers. Some of these residues (e.g., corn steep liquor) are used for growing cultures of micro-organisms in the manufacture of antibiotics. (B) Beet-pulp, the residue remaining after the extraction of sugar from sugar beet roots. This pulp falls in this heading whether wet or dried. However, beet-pulp with added molasses or otherwise prepared as animal feed falls in heading 2309. (C) Bagasse, or sugar-cane pulp, consisting of the fibrous part of the sugar cane remaining after the extraction of the juice. Bagasse is used in the paper industry and in the manufacture of animal feeding stuffs. (D) Other waste products of sugar manufacture falling in this heading, including defecation scum, filter-press residues, etc. (E) Brewing or distilling dregs and waste: (1) Brewers' grains (barley, rye, etc.) obtained in the manufacture of beer and consisting of the exhausted grains remaining after the wort has been drawn off. (2) Malt sprouts separated from the malted grain during the kilning process. (3) Spent hops. (4) Distillers' dregs remaining after the distillation of alcohol from grains, seeds, potatoes, etc. (5) Beet vinasse remaining after the distillation of beet molasses.

(All these products, whether wet or dry, are classified in this heading.) This heading also includes the products listed above in granules (see general provisions to this chapter). This heading does not cover: (a) molasses produced by the extraction or refining of sugar (heading 1703); (b) inactive or waste yeast (heading 2102); (c) untreated potash salts obtained by the burning and washing of residues of beet sugar molasses (heading 2621); (d) weight of bagasse (heading 4706).

1. Heading 2309 covers products used for animal feed, not elsewhere specified or included, obtained from the processing of plant or animal raw materials to such an extent that they have lost the essential properties of the starting material other than plant waste, plant residues and by-products of such processing.

1. Подсубпозиции 2303 10 110 0 и 2303 10 190 0 включают только остатки от производства крахмала из кукурузы и не включают смеси этих остатков с продуктами, полученными из других растений, или с продуктами, полученными из кукурузы другим способом, кроме получения крахмала путем влажного процесса.

The starch content should not exceed 28 wt.% in terms of dry product and the fat content in them should not exceed 4.5 wt.% in terms of dry product.

2. Подсубпозиция 2306 90 050 0 включает только остатки, получаемые при извлечении масла из зародышей зерен кукурузы, содержащие следующие компоненты в определенных количествах в пересчете на сухой продукт:

(a) products with an oil content of less than 3% by weight:

- starch content less than 45 wt.%,

protein content (nitrogen content x 6.25) not less than 11.5 wt.%;

(b) products with an oil content of not less than 3 wt.% and not more than 8 wt.%:

- starch content less than 45 wt.%,
