Cotton seed oil-cake, undecorticated, solvent extracted (defatted)

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 10 40 (cotton seed oil-cake and oil-cake meal, undecorticated, solvent extracted, defatted 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other solid residues and prepared animal feeds within Chapter 23 may attract distinct compliance depending on the source oilseed, processing method, or intended end use.

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 the broader heading: cotton seed oil-cakes processed by different methods — or oil-cakes derived from other oilseeds within Chapter 23 — are separately classified and may carry their own regulatory requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the precise processing method, decoration status, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2306 10 40 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the cotton seed oil-cake is of the decorticated or expeller-pressed variety?
Decorticated or differently processed cotton seed oil-cake falls under a separate tariff line within Chapter 23 and may attract distinct compliance obligations; re-classification by customs to the applicable line triggers retrospective compliance.
