Last updated: August 2026 dataHeading 230990 encompasses the full spectrum of prepared animal feeds outside retail pet food, from bird seed (2309901005) and poultry feeds (2309901020) to dairy cattle feed (2309901030), swine feed (2309901035), milk replacers (2309903010), and vitamin B12 supplement premixes (2309907000), among others. Canada is the dominant import source, with Indonesia and Malaysia — major palm-based feed ingredient producers — also significant, alongside France and Germany as European specialty feed suppliers. Feeds containing more than 10% milk solids are separately enumerated (2309902810, 2309902890) and may carry tariff-rate-quota implications tied to dairy TRQ schedules. FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine governs admissibility for all imported prepared animal feeds, and importers of feeds containing egg products should note the additional regulatory layer those ingredients may trigger.

Lines 2309902810 and 2309902890 cover feeds with over 10% milk solids content, and these products may be subject to dairy TRQ provisions that apply a lower in-quota duty rate up to a specified volume, with a higher over-quota rate applying above that threshold. Importers should monitor TRQ fill levels and coordinate entry timing with a licensed customs broker to manage duty exposure effectively.
A milk replacer is a prepared feed specifically formulated to substitute for whole milk in the diet of young animals (typically calves, lambs, or piglets) and is classified under 2309903010 based on its intended use and formulation. Other feeds that merely contain milk or milk derivatives as one of several ingredients fall under the broader milk-solids lines (2309902810 or 2309902890) or the general NESOI line (2309904890), depending on milk content. Documentation of the product's intended use and formulation is key to correct classification.
