A word of counsel

The single most consequential error on this tariff line is misclassification: blended or compounded odoriferous preparations — even those based on coriander oleoresin — fall under heading 3302, not 3301 90 23. Filing a mixture under this CTI triggers reclassification by customs, differential duty demand, and potential penalty under the Customs Act, 1962. Ensure the Certificate of Analysis confirms the product is a pure extracted oleoresin with no added diluents or carrier substances before declaring this HSN.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3301 90 23 require BIS certification?

No, extracted coriander oleoresins are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under Chapter 33, with no sectoral PGA clearance currently prescribed for this tariff line.

When does a coriander-based product fall under heading 3302 instead of 3301 90 23?

Any mixture of odoriferous substances — including blends where coriander oleoresin is a component — is classifiable under heading 3302; only the pure extracted oleoresin from coriander belongs under CTI 3301 90 23.

Is a Certificate of Analysis required at the bill of entry for this HSN?

While not mandated by a specific notification cited in the CCR, a Certificate of Analysis confirming the product is a pure extracted oleoresin is the standard document used by customs to verify the 3301 classification and distinguish it from a 3302 mixture.
