Groundnut oil-cake and solid residues, other forms

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2305 00 90 (other groundnut oil-cake and solid residues — not elsewhere specified) 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. Groundnut-derived meals and residues intended as compounded animal feed or carrying phytosanitary risk may attract scrutiny under Chapter 23 or related food-safety frameworks.

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 groundnut residue products: oil-cakes presented as prepared animal fodder or compounded feed under Chapter 23 may attract animal-feed quality requirements, and any product carrying aflatoxin risk in groundnut-derived material may trigger food-safety examination on import. Re-classification by customs to a more specific tariff line — or re-characterisation as a food or feed product — can trigger retrospective compliance and detention pending clearance. Verify product specification, intended end-use, and processing state before relying on the absence of compliance.

Residues formulated or labelled as compounded animal feed may be classified under a different tariff line within Chapter 23 and could attract animal-feed quality or food-safety compliance requirements.
