Vegetable Materials, Wastes & By-Products for Animal Feed (NESOI)

Acorns, horse chestnuts, dehydrated marigolds, and a broad catch-all of vegetable residues and by-products used in animal feed all fall under this heading, including pelletized forms. The US schedule breaks out specific tariff lines for acorns and horse chestnuts (2308001000), dehydrated marigolds (2308009500), and two residual NESOI lines covering other vegetable waste and by-products. Canada leads supply, with Germany, Honduras, Poland, and Australia also contributing meaningfully — a supplier mix that reflects both proximity-driven bulk shipments and specialty ingredient sourcing. Importers should confirm that feed-grade labeling and any applicable FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine requirements are met before entry.
