HSN Code Details
The gourmet food sector drives demand for blue‑veined cheeses, which are dairy products characterized by distinct green‑blue veins created by the mold Penicillium roqueforti.
Because the cheese is highly perishable, it must be shipped in refrigerated containers with temperature monitoring and a validated cold‑chain protocol; the product can be exported freely from India without a licence.
