Bran, sharps and milling residues of other cereals

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2302 40 00 (bran, sharps, and other milling residues of cereals other than wheat or rice) 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-based animal feed preparations that are more specifically compounded may fall under Chapter 23 tariff lines that do carry compliance, making precise classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all products within Chapter 23: prepared animal feeds and compound feed concentrates are subject to their own regulatory frameworks, and a customs re-classification from this residue line to a prepared-feed line triggers retrospective compliance obligations. Detention pending re-classification and retrospective duty recovery are live risks where the product specification — cereal source, processing state, intended use — is not precisely documented on the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2302 40 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the cereal milling residue is formulated into a prepared animal feed?
Prepared or compounded animal feed products are classified under different tariff lines within Chapter 23 and may attract distinct compliance requirements, including regulatory clearances that do not apply to raw milling residues.
