BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Product scope and tariff classification

CN code 230110 covers flours, meals and pellets of meat or meat offal, unfit for human consumption, primarily intended as animal feed ingredients. These products result from rendering processes applied to slaughterhouse by-products and meat processing waste through high-temperature and high-pressure sterilisation. The heading includes meat and bone meal (MBM), poultry meal, blood meal and hydrolysed feather meal. These materials serve as valuable sources of animal protein, essential amino acids and minerals in compound feed formulations. Classification under code 230110 requires that the products are genuinely unfit for human consumption and intended for feed or technical purposes. Meat-based products fit for human consumption are classified under chapters 2 or 16 of the Combined Nomenclature depending on their level of processing.

Sanitary requirements and TRACES system

Importing meat meals into the European Union is subject to strict sanitary and veterinary requirements under Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 on animal by-products and its implementing Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. Each consignment must be pre-notified in the TRACES NT system and undergo veterinary checks at an approved Border Control Post (BCP). Meat meals are categorised into three categories of animal by-products, with Category 3 processed animal protein permitted in feed for non-ruminant animals. Since 2001, the EU has maintained a ban on feeding processed animal proteins from mammals to ruminants as a BSE prevention measure. The processing plant in the third country must be listed in the approved establishments register maintained by the European Commission. Compliance certificates must accompany every shipment and be verified before release.

Customs clearance and documentation

For customs clearance of meat meals under CN code 230110, importers must present a health certificate issued by the competent veterinary authority of the exporting country, confirming compliance with EU requirements for processing animal by-products. This document must be entered into the TRACES NT system before the consignment arrives at the border control post. Each consignment undergoes documentary checks, identity checks and, in a proportion of cases, physical checks including laboratory testing for ruminant proteins using the microscopic method. Importers should ensure that labels and commercial documents contain the correct animal by-product category designation, source animal species and processing method. Exporting meat meals from the EU to third countries requires a veterinary certificate compliant with the destination country's requirements.

Meat and bone meal CN 2301 10 - EU TSE regulations

Meat and bone meal under CN 2301 10 enters the EU duty-free at 0%. Strict TSE/BSE regulations under Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 apply. Veterinary certificates and TRACES controls are mandatory. Feeding to ruminants is prohibited.

Frequently asked questions

Can meat and bone meal be used in feed for all animal species?
No. The European Union maintains a ban on feeding processed animal protein from mammals to ruminants as a BSE prevention measure. Category 3 meat and bone meal may be used in feed for poultry, pigs and aquaculture animals, provided that strict species separation requirements are met during feed production in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.
What border controls apply to meat meal imports into the EU?
Every consignment of meat meal imported into the EU must undergo veterinary inspection at an approved Border Control Post. Controls include documentary verification in the TRACES NT system, identity checks of the consignment and physical inspections with possible sampling for laboratory analysis. The frequency of physical checks depends on the risk assessment for the country of origin and product type.
Is hydrolysed feather meal classified under CN code 230110?
Yes. Hydrolysed feather meal unfit for human consumption is classified under CN code 230110, provided it is intended for animal feed or technical purposes. Feather meal hydrolysate is a source of keratin protein used in animal nutrition and must comply with the requirements of the animal by-products regulation.
Are there BSE restrictions on meat meal CN 2301 10?
Yes, meat meal CN 2301 10 is subject to strict TSE/BSE rules. Feeding to ruminants is prohibited. Veterinary certificates and TRACES entry through approved BCPs are required.
