Fish waste, animal by-products unfit for consumption
HSN 0511 91 30 (Other fish waste) is prohibited for import under the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Where any import is considered, it is subject to Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy of ITC (HS) and to Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. A Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) is mandatory at the bill of entry.

The most common error on this tariff line is misclassifying fish waste as a by-product eligible for free import under adjacent headings. HSN 0511 91 30 carries a Prohibited import status under ITC (HS); the Hazardous Waste Rules overlay applies cumulatively, not as an alternative pathway. A consignment arriving without prior authorisation under Para 8(b) of the General Notes faces outright confiscation — not merely detention pending document upload.
