U.S. exports of Residues of Starch Manufacture & Similar Residues (SITC 08151) totaled $50.7M in August 2026.
Importers of Residues of Starch Manufacture & Similar Residues paid $105K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 4.68% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Residues of Starch Manufacture & Similar Residues imports of $2.2M in August 2026 ran 13% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.6M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCorn gluten feed and corn gluten meal — the most commercially significant products in this heading — are byproducts of wet-milling operations and serve as cost-effective protein and energy supplements in cattle, dairy, and poultry rations. Wheat starch residues (bran and middlings fractions from starch extraction) and potato pulp from potato-starch processing also fall here, each with distinct fiber and protein profiles that influence feed-formulation decisions. Classification precision matters because some starch-manufacture residues overlap with bran headings, and the specific processing route (wet-milling vs. dry-milling) can determine the correct tariff line.

Corn gluten meal is the higher-protein fraction (typically 60%+ crude protein) separated during wet-milling, while corn gluten feed is the lower-protein blend of bran and steep liquor (typically 18–24% crude protein). The two products may fall under different tariff lines, so the supplier's specification sheet confirming protein content and processing method is essential for correct classification.
A commercial invoice identifying the source grain, the processing method, and the product's proximate analysis (protein, fat, fiber, moisture) is standard. If the residue is destined for animal feed, it must comply with FDA feed-ingredient definitions, and some state feed-control officials require product registration before sale.
