Oil-cake and solid residues from other oilseed extraction

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 90 19 (oil-cake and other solid residues from the extraction of other oilseeds) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Oil-cake residues intended for use as compounded animal feed or feed ingredients may fall under other headings within Chapter 23 that carry specific compliance; classification by intended end-use is the principal importer risk.

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 within Chapter 23: oil-cakes of soya bean (heading 2304) and groundnut (heading 2305) are separately classified and may attract their own regulatory treatment, and prepared animal feeds incorporating these residues can attract additional oversight. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where the declared end-use as feed ingredient triggers a more specific heading — leads to detention pending retrospective compliance. Verify product specification, source oilseed, and declared end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
