CEREAL STRAW AND HUSKS, UNPREPARED, WHETHER OR NOT CHOPPED, GROUND, PRESSED OR IN THE FORM OF PELLETS
Cereal straw and husks, unprepared, chopped, ground, pressed, or pelleted
HSN 1213 00 00 (cereal straw and husks, unprepared, whether or not chopped, ground, pressed, or in the form of pellets) 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. Cereal straw processed into animal feed preparations or compounded fodder may be classified under Chapter 23, which carries its own compliance considerations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all straw-derived or husk-derived products: material processed into finished animal feed or fodder compounds may be re-classified under Chapter 23, attracting feed-safety and FSSAI-adjacent requirements. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the product's processing state and intended end-use against the tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
