Oil-cake and oil-cake meal, solvent extracted (defatted) variety
Sunflower seed oil-cake, solvent extracted, defatted variety
HSN 2306 30 20 (sunflower seed 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other solid residues and prepared animal feed products within Chapter 23 may attract Feed or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India oversight depending on end use; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all sunflower seed residues: expeller-pressed (non-defatted) cake is classified separately and may attract different treatment, and any residue compounded or formulated as prepared animal feed under Chapter 23 can draw scrutiny from food and feed safety regulators. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the extraction method, fat content, and declared end use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
