RE: The tariff classification of Mixed Feed from Canada
Dear Mr. Walsh:
In your letter dated June 14, 2021 you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The product under review is Mixed Feed. The product, an animal feed, is composed of cracked corn (8 percent) and feed grade sugar (92 percent). You have stated that sugar is a necessary component for formulating dairy rations resulting in the production of milk with increased nutrition, higher quality, and value. The product, which will be imported in bulk quantity at an estimated weight of 22,000 kilos per load, will be sold to dairy farms, ultimately for ingestion by dairy cattle.
The applicable subheading for the Mixed Feed will be 2309.90.1030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding; Mixed feeds or mixed feed ingredients; Dairy cattle feed, prepared.” The rate of duty will be Free.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on the World Wide Web at https://hts.usitc.gov/current.
