Oil-cake and solid residues from extraction of other seed oils

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 90 29 (oil-cake and solid residues from the extraction of other seed 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 carrying specific agricultural input claims may attract compliance under sibling lines or related Chapter 23 headings.

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 oil-cake residues classified under Headings 2304 or 2305 — soybean and groundnut oil-cakes respectively — which are expressly excluded from this heading and carry their own regulatory treatment. Oil-cakes imported as or blended into prepared animal feed may attract scrutiny under broader Chapter 23 feed-safety frameworks. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution.

Soybean and groundnut oil-cakes fall under Headings 2304 and 2305 respectively, which are expressly outside this heading and may carry distinct compliance obligations under those tariff lines.
