Last updated: April 2026 dataProduced during the sifting, milling, or processing of leguminous plants such as soybeans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas, these residues are valued in animal nutrition for their protein and fiber content at a lower cost than whole-grain or meal products. The category includes both coarse bran fractions and finer 'sharps' (middlings), which differ in particle size and nutritional density — a distinction that matters for feed formulation and pricing. Because these materials derive from legumes rather than cereals, they are classified separately from wheat bran or corn bran, and importers should ensure that the botanical source is clearly identified on commercial documents to avoid misclassification. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply to imported legume milling residues.

The key distinction is botanical origin: 08123 covers bran, sharps, and residues derived specifically from leguminous plants (such as soybeans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas), while cereal bran from wheat, corn, or rice falls under separate SITC headings. On commercial invoices, importers must identify the specific legume source and confirm that the product results from a sifting, milling, or similar mechanical working process rather than a chemical extraction, which would place it under oilseed meal headings.
Processed legume milling residues may be subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements depending on the degree of processing and the country of origin. Highly processed or heat-treated materials generally face fewer restrictions than raw or minimally processed plant material, but importers should confirm current APHIS requirements for their specific product and origin before shipment. A phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country is advisable as standard practice.
