NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 50 90 (other coconut or copra oil-cake and solid residues) 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. Coconut- and copra-derived residues formulated or blended as compound animal feed may fall under a separate tariff line within Chapter 23 that carries additional compliance.

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 all residues from vegetable oil extraction: oil-cakes specifically prepared as animal feedingstuffs and classified under compound feed headings in Chapter 23 can attract compliance oversight from the Food Safety and Standards Authority or related feed-quality frameworks. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the product is labelled or invoiced as a prepared feed rather than a raw residue — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Verify product description, intended end-use, and physical form against the customs tariff before shipment.
