About HTS 2304.00.00
HTS code 2304.00.00 classifies imports of: Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil. This line sits within Chapter 23 (Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder), Section IV (Prepared Foodstuffs; Beverages, Spirits; Tobacco), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. A footnote applies to this classification: See 9903.88.03.
The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 2304.00.00 is 0.45¢/kg, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A+,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E, IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S, SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 0.7¢/kg applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.
Footnotes: See 9903.88.03. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
