HSN Code Details
The dairy sector supplies mozzarella cheese, a semi‑soft, white curd product with a high moisture content and a mild, stretchy texture, commonly produced by the pasta‑filatura process.
Because the cheese is perishable, shipments must be refrigerated, packed in insulated containers with temperature loggers, and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate; it is freely exportable from India without a license.
