Oil-cake and solid residues from sunflower seed extraction, other
HSN 2306 30 90 (oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of sunflower seed fats or oils, other than de-oiled cake) 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. Sunflower seed residues intended for use as compounded animal feed or premixes may fall under separately classified tariff lines in Chapter 23 that attract animal feed or phytosanitary compliance.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all residues of Chapter 23: oil-cake used as an ingredient in prepared animal fodder, or product imported with a declared feed-grade specification, may attract a Plant Quarantine Order or FSSAI-adjacent feed-safety requirement at the time of customs examination. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify intended end-use and product specification — solvent-extracted versus expeller-pressed, feed-grade versus industrial — before relying on the absence of compliance here.
