Last updated: April 2026 dataMilling residues from leguminous plants — including pea hulls, lentil bran, and chickpea screenings — occupy a distinct heading from cereal-based counterparts, reflecting their higher protein and fiber profiles that make them attractive in premium livestock and aquaculture feed formulations. Classified under a single tariff line (2302500000), the product's composition varies considerably by source legume, which can affect both nutritional labeling and customs valuation. Canada is the dominant supplier, consistent with its position as a leading global pulse-processing country.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No — all bran, sharps, and milling residues derived from leguminous plants fall under the single line 2302500000 regardless of the specific legume species. However, the source legume should be clearly documented on commercial invoices and mill certificates, as it affects FDA feed ingredient labeling requirements and may influence customs valuation.
Canada is one of the world's largest producers and processors of field peas, lentils, and other pulses, particularly in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Proximity, established trade infrastructure under USMCA, and large-scale pulse milling capacity make Canadian-origin legume residues the most cost-competitive option for US feed compounders.
