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 v2022 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 milling and sifting of corn are an important part of the global animal feed industry, providing a valuable source of nutrients and fiber for livestock. As a major producer and exporter of corn, this industry plays a significant role in the broader agricultural economy.

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 one of the most widely cultivated cereal grains globally, and major producers include the United States, China, Brazil, and the European Union. In addition to the raw corn, the production process requires milling and sifting equipment, as well as energy sources to power the machinery.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the bran, sharps, and other residues derived from the corn milling process. These byproducts are primarily used as animal feed, often blended with other ingredients to create complete feed rations. The materials covered under HS code 230210 may be consumed by producers of 230990 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding, not elsewhere specified or included, 230400 Oil-cake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil, and other animal feed products.
