Flours and Meals of Oil Seeds or Oleaginous Fruits imports of $1.4M in August 2026 ran 15% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.7M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataProduced by grinding and partially or fully defatting oilseeds such as soybeans, sunflower seeds, or cottonseed, these flours and meals are high-protein co-products of vegetable oil extraction widely used in animal feed compounding and, for food-grade grades, in human nutrition applications. Mustard flour is explicitly excluded from this heading and classified separately. FDA oversight applies to food-grade meal products, and the degree of defatting — full-fat, partially defatted, or refatted with original oil — is a key specification that affects both protein content and tariff classification. Importers should confirm processing method and fat content in certificates of analysis to support accurate entry.

Full-fat, partially defatted, and fully defatted meals differ in protein concentration and energy content, which drives their value in animal feed and food formulations. For customs purposes, the processing method and fat content should be documented in the certificate of analysis and commercial invoice, as these specifications can influence classification at the HTS level and FDA labeling requirements for food-grade products.
The SITC description explicitly carves out mustard flour, which is classified under a separate heading reflecting its primary use as a condiment ingredient rather than a protein meal or feed ingredient. Importers dealing in mixed oilseed meal products that include mustard-derived fractions should verify classification with a licensed customs broker to avoid misclassification.
