Oil-cake and solid residues from niger seed extraction
HSN 2306 90 13 (oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of niger seed 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. Oil-cakes and residues intended as compounded animal feed or sold as finished feed preparations may fall under differently classified headings within Chapter 23 that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to niger seed oil-cake in its residue form; compounded or prepared animal feed incorporating such residues may attract regulatory requirements under Chapter 23's prepared animal fodder provisions. Re-classification by customs — for instance, where the goods are presented as finished feed rather than raw extraction residue — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the product's form, intended use, and trade description against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
