Last updated: April 2026 dataCopra meal — the residue remaining after oil is pressed from dried coconut kernel — is a medium-energy, moderate-protein livestock feed ingredient classified under HTS 2306500000. Japan leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, a supplier mix that reflects the Pacific and South Asian geography of coconut production. Copra meal is valued in ruminant rations for its high digestible fiber content, though its relatively low protein level compared to soybean or canola meal limits its inclusion rate in monogastric diets. Moisture management and aflatoxin risk during ocean transit are the primary quality-control concerns for importers.

Japan functions as a processing and re-export hub: raw copra is imported from Pacific Island producers, crushed for coconut oil in Japanese facilities, and the resulting copra meal is then exported. This trade pattern is common for oilseed crushing industries located near major shipping lanes but distant from the original growing regions.
Aflatoxin contamination (from mold growth in improperly dried copra) and elevated moisture content are the two primary concerns. Importers should require a certificate of analysis covering aflatoxin levels and moisture at origin, and consider independent sampling at the port of discharge. FDA may detain shipments found to exceed aflatoxin action levels for animal feed.
