Oil-cake and oil-cake meal, undecorticated, expeller variety
Cotton seed oil-cake and meal, undecorticated, expeller variety
HSN 2306 10 30 (oil-cake and oil-cake meal of cotton seeds, undecorticated, 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. Importers should note that other solid residues from vegetable oil extraction — particularly those covered by headings 2304 and 2305 — and prepared animal feed formulations under Chapter 23 may carry distinct compliance requirements at the tariff-line level.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all residues within Chapter 23: decorticating state, extraction method (expeller versus solvent), and intended use as animal feed can each shift classification to a sibling line that carries a Partner Government Agency or quality requirement. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including potential detention pending resolution. Verify the decortication status, extraction process, and end-use declaration against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
