- Check whether the goods are waste, residue or byproduct of a vegetable material rather than a prepared feed mixture.
- Confirm the goods are not described by a more specific heading such as 2302, 2304 or 2306.
- Note whether the product is citrus pulp, which has its own statistical line under 2308.00.98.
