Psyllium husk (isobgol husk)
Psyllium husk (isabgol husk), dried or processed
HSN 1211 90 32 (psyllium husk, also known as isabgol husk) 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 medicinal or pharmacological plant products within Chapter 12 — particularly those presented as finished formulations or extracts — may fall under sibling tariff lines that attract separate compliance.
Psyllium husk imported as a bulk botanical ingredient is distinct from psyllium-based preparations presented as ayurvedic or nutraceutical products, which may attract AYUSH or FSSAI oversight under different classification heads. Customs re-classification — for example, to a prepared or processed form — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending the relevant product licence. Confirm the physical form, intended use, and degree of processing precisely before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
