Oil-cake and solid residues from sesame seed extraction

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 90 14 (oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of sesame 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. Other residues and oil-cakes within Chapter 23 — particularly those formulated or compounded as prepared animal feeds — may attract separate compliance obligations under animal feed regulations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to the raw, uncompounded solid residue from sesame oil extraction; once blended or prepared as a compound animal feed, the product may re-classify into a tariff line carrying regulatory requirements under Chapter 23. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the appropriate clearance. Importers should document the product's processing state, moisture content, and intended use — feed, fertiliser, or industrial — before relying on the absence of compliance here.
