Of palm nuts or kernels
Oil-cake and solid residues from palm nut or kernel extraction
HSN 2306 60 00 (oil-cake and solid residues from the extraction of palm nut or kernel fats or oils) 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 residues and animal feed preparations within Chapter 23 — or palm-based products crossing into Chapter 15 (fats and oils) — may carry distinct compliance depending on processing state and intended use.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: oil-cake marketed or blended as a prepared animal feed compound may be re-classified into a heading within Chapter 23 that attracts feed-safety or PGA oversight. Similarly, residues retaining a commercially significant oil content may be re-characterised as a fat or oil product under Chapter 15, triggering a separate compliance regime. Re-classification on customs examination can result in detention pending the relevant clearance and retrospective duty recovery.
