Reading code 2308

The first two digits (23) place this code in chapter 23 — Food Industry Residues and Animal Feed. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Oil cakes, bran, and other food-industry residues, plus prepared animal and poultry feed (largely exempt).
