About heading 2303

Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues, beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste, whether or not in the form of pellets

Heading 2303 covers the solid residues left over from starch manufacture, sugar manufacture, and brewing or distilling, whether or not pressed into pellets. It splits into three lines of goods: starch residues and similar residues (2303.10), beet-pulp, bagasse and other sugar-manufacture waste (2303.20), and brewing or distilling dregs and waste (2303.30). These are low-value by-products sold mainly as animal feed ingredients, not finished feed preparations.
