Last updated: April 2026 dataResidual vegetable materials not classified elsewhere — including processing by-products from fruit, vegetable, and oilseed industries — are captured here when their primary commercial use is animal nutrition. Examples include citrus pulp, tomato pomace, and beet pulp not covered by more specific headings, all of which serve as energy or fiber supplements in ruminant and swine rations. The 'not elsewhere specified' scope means classification disputes can arise when a by-product could plausibly fall under a more specific commodity heading; precise product descriptions and processing documentation are essential on entry. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply depending on the botanical origin and processing state of the material.

Classification under the NES heading applies only when the product does not fit a more specific heading within SITC Group 081 or related groups. For example, beet pulp from sugar processing and citrus pulp from juice extraction are commonly classified here, but oilseed meal (such as soybean meal) has its own dedicated heading. Importers should provide a detailed technical description of the raw material, processing method, and intended use to their customs broker to determine the correct classification.
A phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's plant protection authority is typically required for plant-derived feed materials. Depending on the product, FDA may also review the shipment if it could be considered a food or feed ingredient subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. A certificate of analysis confirming composition and absence of prohibited substances, along with a detailed commercial invoice describing the processing origin, strengthens the admissibility file.
