Psyllium seeds (isobgul)
Psyllium seeds (isabgol) for pharmacy or similar uses
HSN 1211 90 13 (psyllium seeds, isabgol) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other plant-derived products in Chapter 12 — particularly those processed into pharmaceutical preparations or dietary supplements — may attract additional compliance under separate chapters or tariff lines.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies to psyllium seeds in their raw, dried, or unprocessed form; psyllium husk, psyllium husk powder, or isabgol-based finished products are classified differently and may attract regulatory scrutiny under pharmaceutical or food-safety frameworks. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the goods are presented in consumer-ready packaging — triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the precise form and intended use of the consignment against the tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
