Bran, sharps and other residues; of maize (corn), whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other workings thereof

HS v2017 Code: 230210

About bran, sharps and other residues; of maize (corn), whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other workings thereof

HS code 230210 covers the bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the processing of maize (corn). These byproducts of the corn milling and sifting industry are an important part of the global agricultural economy, providing valuable livestock feed and industrial inputs. As a major producer and exporter of corn, this industry plays a significant role in international trade and the broader food supply chain.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 230210 involves the various processing steps of corn milling and sifting. After the corn kernels are harvested, they undergo cleaning, drying, and milling to separate the starch, germ, and bran components. The bran, sharps, and other residues are then collected, and may be further processed into pellets or other forms to facilitate storage and transportation.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is, of course, maize (corn). Corn is a widely cultivated cereal grain that serves as a staple food and animal feed around the world. In addition to the raw corn, the production process requires various machinery and equipment for milling, sifting, and processing the byproducts. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry, as defined by HS code 230210, are the bran, sharps, and other residues derived from corn processing. These materials are primarily used as livestock feed, as they provide valuable nutrients and fiber. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by manufacturers of 230310 Bran, sharps and other residues of wheat, 230320 Bran, sharps and other residues of other cereals, or 230330 Bran, sharps and other residues of leguminous plants.
