Last updated: August 2026 dataA high-protein co-product of soybean oil extraction, soybean meal and oilcake are among the most widely traded animal feed ingredients globally, serving as a primary protein source in poultry, swine, and aquaculture rations. The US schedule distinguishes certified organic material (2304000010) from conventional product (2304000090), reflecting growing demand for identity-preserved organic feed. Canada leads US import supply, with West African origins — notably Togo, Nigeria, and Benin — representing a notable and somewhat unusual sourcing pattern that may reflect re-export or processing trade flows. Protein content, moisture specifications, and pellet versus meal form are the key commercial quality parameters buyers negotiate.

The US 10-digit schedule separates certified organic soybean oilcake and solid residues (2304000010) from all other conventional product (2304000090). Importers claiming the organic subheading must be able to document certification under USDA National Organic Program standards or an equivalent recognized program.
Crude protein content (typically expressed on a 44% or 48% protein basis), moisture level, urease activity (indicating proper heat treatment), and whether the product is in pellet or loose meal form are the primary specifications. Buyers also specify maximum fiber and ash content, particularly for aquafeed and specialty livestock applications.
