Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna)
Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) plant parts, dried or fresh
HSN 1211 90 35 (Arjuna — Terminalia arjuna plant parts) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other medicinal and aromatic plant materials under Chapter 12 may attract phytosanitary or drug-regulatory requirements depending on the plant species, intended use, or form of processing.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to finished or semi-processed derivatives: extracts, tinctures, and formulated herbal products derived from Terminalia arjuna are typically reclassified outside Chapter 12 and may attract drug or Ayush licensing requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Importers should document the raw, unprocessed nature of the consignment — cut, crushed, or dried plant parts without further preparation — to sustain classification at this tariff line.
