Oil-cake and oil-cake meal, solvent extracted (defatted) variety
Linseed oil-cake and meal, solvent extracted (defatted variety)
HSN 2306 20 20 (linseed oil-cake and oil-cake meal, 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other solid residues from vegetable oil extraction — particularly soybean and groundnut cake classified under Chapter 23 headings 2304 and 2305 — may carry distinct compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to the solvent-extracted (defatted) linseed oil-cake grade; expeller-pressed or mechanically extracted linseed cake may be classified differently and attract separate requirements. Animal feed ingredients formulated or compounded with this material can fall under Chapter 23 prepared fodder lines that carry their own compliance regime. Re-classification on customs examination — based on fat content, extraction method, or end-use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention.
