Oil-cake and oil-cake meal, decorticated expeller variety
Oil-cake and oil-cake meal of cotton seeds, decorticated expeller variety
HSN 2306 10 10 (oil-cake and oil-cake meal of cotton seeds, decorticated 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 residues and solid by-products derived from vegetable oil extraction, particularly those used as prepared animal feed under Chapter 23, may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all cotton-seed residues: solvent-extracted varieties are classified separately within Chapter 23 and may attract distinct obligations, and cotton-seed oil itself falls under a different chapter entirely. Re-classification by customs on examination — based on extraction method, decorticating status, or intended end-use — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the extraction method and processing specification against the customs tariff before shipment.
