U.S. imports of Low-Erucic Acid Rape/Canola Seed Oilcake & Solid Residues (HS 230641) totaled $77.3M in August 2026, imported from 4 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCanola meal — the solid residue from crushing low-erucic acid rapeseed — is one of the most widely used plant-protein feed ingredients in North American livestock rations, classified under HTS 2306410000. Canada is by far the dominant supplier to the US market, a natural consequence of its position as the world's leading canola producer, and imports from Canada benefit from USMCA treatment. The low-erucic acid specification is the critical classification criterion that separates this subheading from the NESOI rape/colza residue line; importers must ensure documentation confirms erucic acid content meets the applicable threshold. Argentina and China are secondary sources, adding geographic optionality for large-volume feed compounders.

Importers should obtain a phytosanitary or quality certificate from the exporting country's competent authority, along with a laboratory analysis report confirming that the erucic acid content of the source seed falls below the threshold defined in the applicable HS nomenclature notes. Without this documentation, CBP may reclassify the goods under the NESOI rape/colza residue line (230649).
Imports of canola meal originating in Canada qualify for USMCA preferential tariff treatment, provided the shipment is accompanied by a valid USMCA certification of origin and the goods meet the applicable rules of origin. Importers should verify current duty rates and origin requirements with a licensed customs broker.
