HSN Code Details
Cutch (catechu) extracts are obtained by boiling the bark of the Acacia catechu tree, then concentrating the liquid to a thick syrup that contains tannins and other phenolic compounds.
Shipping of this liquid requires temperature‑controlled containers to prevent degradation; exporters typically use insulated, sealed drums and include a certificate of analysis for tannin content.
