Beet-Pulp, Bagasse & Other Sugar Manufacturing Waste imports of $236K in August 2026 ran 20% below the year-to-date monthly average of $296K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataDried beet pulp — the primary traded commodity in this heading — is a highly digestible fiber source prized in dairy and equine rations for its fermentable energy without the starch load of cereal grains. Sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous residue after juice extraction, is traded in smaller volumes primarily as a roughage extender or industrial fuel feedstock. Both products are subject to FDA feed-ingredient regulations, and dried beet pulp in particular may carry residual sugar content that affects moisture and storage specifications.

Dried beet pulp is hygroscopic and can reabsorb moisture during ocean transit, raising the risk of mold and heating in bulk shipments. Importers should specify maximum moisture content (typically 10–12%) in the purchase contract, request moisture readings at load port and discharge, and ensure covered storage at the destination facility.
Both fall within the same SITC heading as sugar-manufacturing waste, but at the HTS level they may be classified under different subheadings depending on form and end use. Because bagasse is also used as an industrial fuel and raw material, its classification can shift depending on whether it is presented as a feed ingredient or an energy product — a distinction worth confirming with a licensed customs broker.
