Last updated: July 2026 dataPeanut oilcake — also traded as groundnut cake or groundnut meal — is the protein-rich solid residue remaining after oil extraction from peanuts, used primarily in ruminant and aquaculture feed. Classified under a single tariff line (2305000000), this commodity carries aflatoxin contamination risk that makes FDA monitoring a consistent compliance consideration for importers. Brazil and Argentina are the leading US import sources, both major groundnut-processing economies in South America.

Aflatoxin contamination is the principal safety concern for peanut oilcake. FDA monitors imported animal feed ingredients for aflatoxin levels and may detain or refuse entry to shipments exceeding action levels. Importers should obtain aflatoxin test certificates from accredited laboratories in the country of origin and be prepared to provide them at the port of entry. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with FDA feed-ingredient admissibility is strongly recommended.
Both solvent-extracted and mechanically pressed (expeller) peanut residues fall under 2305000000. The extraction method is not a classification criterion at this heading level, though it significantly affects the residual oil content and protein concentration — differences that should be documented in the certificate of analysis for customs valuation and feed-labeling purposes.
