Of cardi seeds

Oil-cake and solid residues from extraction of cardi seed oil

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 90 23 (oil-cake and solid residues from the extraction of cardi seed oil) 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 for compounded animal feed, or derived from soya or groundnut extraction, may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 23 that carry distinct compliance requirements.

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 the broader Chapter 23 category: oil-cake products marketed as animal feed ingredients may attract licensing or quality requirements under feed-related regulations, and re-classification on customs examination — for instance, to a soya or groundnut oil-cake line — triggers retrospective compliance. Verify the source oilseed, extraction method, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2306 90 23 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the oil-cake is derived from soya or groundnut rather than cardi seeds?

Soya and groundnut oil-cakes are classified under headings 2304 and 2305 respectively, which fall outside Chapter 2306 and may carry their own compliance requirements.
