Of sal (de-oiled)
De-oiled sal seed cake, solid extraction residue
HSN 2306 90 26 (de-oiled sal seed cake) 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 oil-cake and solid residues within Chapter 23 — particularly those derived from soybean or groundnut — may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on end-use as prepared animal fodder.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the de-oiled sal cake's classification as a residue from vegetable fat extraction, but misclassification risk arises if the product is presented in a form or concentration associated with prepared animal feed under a more specific Chapter 23 heading. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm the product specification — oil content, form (ground or pelleted), and declared end-use — against the customs tariff before relying on this absence.
