Oil-cake and oil-cake meal, expeller variety
Sunflower seed oil-cake and meal, expeller variety
HSN 2306 30 10 (sunflower seed 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 oil-cakes from different oilseeds or processed by solvent extraction may fall under sibling tariff lines in Chapter 23 that carry distinct compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all oil-cake and residue products in Chapter 23: solvent-extracted sunflower oil-cake (a separate sub-heading), and oil-cakes intended for use as animal feed concentrates may attract plant quarantine or food-safety scrutiny depending on the declared end-use. Re-classification by customs — whether by grade, extraction method, or intended use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the extraction process and intended use against the customs tariff before shipment.
