Of wheat

Wheat bran, sharps, and milling residues

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2302 30 00 (wheat bran, sharps, and other milling residues of wheat) 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 residues derived from cereals or leguminous plants under Chapter 23, particularly those formulated as prepared animal feed, may attract separate compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Wheat bran imported as a raw milling residue is distinct from compounded or prepared animal feed, which falls under different tariff lines in Chapter 23 and may carry food-safety or feed-safety obligations. Customs re-classification — from a raw milling residue to a prepared feed product — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm the product's processing state, intended use, and whether any additives are present before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
