Last updated: August 2026 dataSoybean flour and meal — the protein-rich co-products of soybean oil extraction — are widely used in animal feed formulations, food protein fortification, and industrial applications. The US tariff schedule distinguishes organic soybean flours and meals (1208100010) from conventional product (1208100090), with organic lines requiring NOP-equivalent certification documentation at entry. Canada and Mexico are the leading import suppliers, though the US is itself a major soybean processor, so imports tend to fill specialty or organic market niches rather than bulk commodity demand. As a food and feed ingredient, FDA and USDA oversight applies; consult a licensed customs broker for current entry requirements.

Heading 1208.10 covers flours and meals produced by grinding or milling soybeans, including defatted soy flour. Oilcake and other solid residues remaining after oil extraction are classified separately under heading 2304, which covers soybean oilcake used primarily as animal feed. The distinction turns on the degree of processing and the physical form of the product.
Importers must hold a valid USDA National Organic Program (NOP) import certificate or equivalent documentation from an NOP-accredited certifying agent confirming the product meets organic standards. The organic certificate must accompany the entry and be available for CBP review; without it, the shipment should be classified under the conventional line 1208100090.
