Aleuritic acid

Aleuritic acid, used as raw material in industry

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3302 90 20 (Aleuritic acid) 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. Finished cosmetic or perfumery preparations derived from odoriferous substances and classified elsewhere in Chapter 33 may attract separate compliance; the raw-material status of aleuritic acid is the critical classification anchor.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns on the product's classification as an industrial raw material within the odoriferous-substances heading; finished preparations based on odoriferous substances — particularly cosmetic or toilet preparations — are classified separately within Chapter 33 and carry distinct regulatory requirements. Re-classification by customs from raw material to a finished or semi-finished preparation triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Importers should document the intermediate or raw-material end-use of aleuritic acid clearly in commercial invoices and technical specifications.
