Low-Erucic Acid Rape/Canola Seed Oilcake & Solid Residues

Canola 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.
