About heading 2305

Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of peanut (ground-nut) oil

Heading 2305 covers oilcake and other solid residues left after peanut (ground-nut) oil is extracted, whether or not ground or pressed into pellets. The heading has a single declarable line, 2305.00.00.00, so there are no subheadings to pick between once the goods fall in this heading. The residue must come from peanut oil extraction, not from soybeans or other oilseeds.
