About heading 2309

Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding

Heading 2309 covers preparations used in animal feeding, such as pet food put up for retail sale and prepared or mixed feeds for livestock and poultry. The heading splits first by retail pet food (2309.10) versus all other feed preparations (2309.90), then within 2309.90 by whether the product is a mixed feed, contains milk or milk derivatives, contains egg, or is a vitamin B12 preparation, with a residual line for everything else. Most mixed feed and pet food lines carry a general (MFN) rate of Free, while milk based feeds and specialty preparations carry duty.
