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

HS v2017 Code: 230240

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

HS code 230240 covers bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the processing of various cereal grains. These byproducts of the milling and sifting process are an important part of the global agricultural and food processing industries. They serve as valuable inputs for animal feed, biofuel production, and other industrial applications, contributing to the efficient utilization of cereal crops and the sustainability of the broader food system.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 230240 involves the sifting, milling, or other processing of cereal grains such as wheat, corn, rice, and barley. During these processes, the bran, germ, and other coarse particles are separated from the refined flour or meal, resulting in the generation of these residual byproducts. The specific techniques used may vary depending on the type of cereal grain and the desired end-use of the materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under HS code 230240 are the various cereal grains themselves, as well as the machinery and equipment used for milling, sifting, and other processing operations. This can include grain silos, mills, sifters, and other specialized processing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 230240 are the bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the processing of cereal grains. These materials are commonly used as ingredients in 230910 animal feed preparations and 440131 fuel wood, as well as in the production of 230250 (Bran, sharps and other residues of maize (corn)) and 230310 Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues. The efficient utilization of these byproducts helps to minimize waste and maximize the value derived from cereal crop production.
