Of leguminous plants

Milling residues of leguminous plants (bran, sharps, pellets)

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2302 50 00 (bran, sharps, and other milling residues of leguminous plants) 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. Residues derived from cereals rather than leguminous plants fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 23 that may carry distinct compliance, including possible phytosanitary or feed-safety requirements.

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

The absence of product-specific compliance at this tariff line does not insulate the importer from re-classification risk: customs officers examining the consignment may reclassify residues that are compounded or enriched as prepared animal feed under Chapter 23, which can attract separate licensing obligations. Additionally, imports of plant-origin feed materials may engage phytosanitary inspection at the port even where no PGA notification applies at the tariff-line level. Verify the product specification — species origin, processing state, intended use — before relying on this classification.

Compounded or prepared animal feed products are classified under a different heading within Chapter 23 and may attract feed-safety or licensing requirements not applicable to the raw milling residue.
