U.S. exports of palm nut or kernel oilcake & solid residues (HS 230660) totaled $139K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPalm kernel expeller (PKE) and palm kernel meal are the solid byproducts of palm kernel oil extraction and are classified under heading 230660. These products serve as a cost-effective energy and fiber source in ruminant feed rations, particularly for dairy cattle, and are widely traded from major palm oil-producing regions. Because this record has no 10-digit children lines provided, classification subdivisions should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker against the current HTS schedule. Importers should be aware that palm kernel products from certain origins may carry sustainability certification requirements from buyers, even if not mandated by US customs law.

Both terms describe the solid residue after oil extraction from palm kernels, but 'expeller' or 'oilcake' typically refers to mechanically pressed product retaining more residual oil, while 'meal' often refers to solvent-extracted product with lower fat content. Both forms classify under heading 230660, but the residual oil level affects nutritional value and may be specified in purchase contracts.
US customs law does not currently mandate sustainability certification for palm kernel oilcake, but many commercial buyers — particularly in the EU-linked supply chain — require RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification. Importers supplying feed compounders with European customers should confirm whether such certification is a contractual requirement before sourcing.
