Linseed oil-cake and solid residues, other types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 20 90 (Other linseed oil-cake and solid residues from vegetable fat extraction) 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 oil-cake and residue products within Chapter 23 — particularly those intended as compounded animal feed or feed supplements — may fall under sibling tariff lines that attract regulatory oversight from animal feed authorities.

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 Chapter 23 product family: oil-cakes destined for compounded animal feed manufacture, or residues blended with mineral or chemical additives and classified under prepared animal fodder headings, may attract scrutiny under animal feed and food safety frameworks. Re-classification on customs examination — based on intended use, declared specification, or physical form — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product's end-use, pellet form, and extraction source against the tariff description before filing.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2306 20 90 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 residue is formulated as a prepared animal feed or blended with other ingredients?
Formulated or compounded feed products are classified under separate headings within Chapter 23 and may attract animal feed regulatory requirements, making accurate declaration of product form and intended use essential.
