Linseed oil-cake and oil-cake meal, expeller variety

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 20 10 (linseed oil-cake and oil-cake meal, 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other solid residues and prepared animal feeds within Chapter 23 — particularly solvent-extracted grades or compound feed formulations — may attract distinct compliance that does not apply here.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to the expeller variety; solvent-extracted linseed cake is classified separately and may carry additional regulatory requirements. Animal feed ingredients are also subject to periodic policy notifications by the Ministry of Agriculture and the DGFT, so import conditions should be confirmed against the current Foreign Trade Policy and any standing port-level instructions before shipment. Re-classification by customs to a solvent-extracted or compound-feed line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2306 20 10 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 linseed oil-cake is solvent-extracted rather than expeller variety?
Solvent-extracted linseed cake falls under a separate tariff line within Chapter 23 and may attract distinct compliance obligations; customs re-classification to that line triggers retrospective requirements.
