Oil-cake and oil-cake meal of ground-nut, expeller variety
Ground-nut oil-cake and meal, expeller variety
HSN 2305 00 10 (oil-cake and oil-cake meal of ground-nut, expeller variety) 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 solid residues and pelletised forms resulting from ground-nut oil extraction, as well as animal feed preparations classified under Chapter 23, may attract separate compliance depending on intended use.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all Chapter 23 products: prepared animal feed compounds and solvent-extracted ground-nut cake may be subject to quality or safety notifications not applicable here. Re-classification by customs — for example, from expeller to solvent-extracted variety — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the extraction method and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
