HS v2017 Code: 2308

About vegetable materials and vegetable waste, vegetable residues and bi-products; whether or not in the form of pellets, of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included

HS code 2308 covers a diverse range of vegetable materials, waste, residues, and by-products that are used in animal feed. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural economy, providing a sustainable way to utilize agricultural waste and by-products that would otherwise be discarded. The materials covered under this code are an important source of nutrients, fiber, and other beneficial components for animal feed, contributing to the overall health and productivity of livestock.

Production process

The production techniques for the materials covered under HS code 2308 vary depending on the specific type of vegetable material or waste. In general, the process may involve collection, sorting, cleaning, drying, and potentially further processing such as pelleting or compaction to improve storage and transportation. Some materials may also undergo chemical or thermal treatment to enhance their nutritional value or shelf-life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of materials under HS code 2308 include the raw vegetable materials, such as crop residues, fruit and vegetable peels, husks, and other agricultural by-products. Additionally, machinery for processing, drying, and pelleting the materials may be required, as well as energy sources and labor for the various production steps.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 2308 are the various vegetable materials, waste, residues, and by-products that are used as animal feed. These materials may be consumed by a wide range of industries, including 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0103 Live swine, 0104 Live sheep and goats, 0105 Live poultry, and other livestock sectors.
