HSN Code Details
Unlike HSN 04063100 which covers grated processed cheese, HSN 04063000 applies to processed cheese that is sold in block or slab form and is not grated, free‑flowing, or in powdered form. It is a manufactured dairy product where milk solids are blended, heated, and solidified into a cohesive mass.
Because the cheese is solid and non‑perishable for short periods, it is typically packed in insulated corrugated boxes with gel packs to maintain temperature during sea freight; commercial invoices must list the free‑flowing nature and indicate that the product is freely exportable from India without a license.
