Export controls for oilseeds and plant products combine free trade classifications with certification, licensing, and wildlife safeguards.

Exports of oilseeds and related products are generally free, subject to product-specific classification and quality conditions. Groundnut exports require APEDA registration and aflatoxin-control certification for most destinations, while exports to the Russian Federation require prescribed pre-shipment quality certification. Sesame seed exports are free but require destination-based export certification and laboratory analysis for the European Union and the United States. Wild-origin plants and plant parts of protected species are prohibited, subject to case-specific exemptions for research, education, or life-saving drugs. Forestry seeds and specified protected species are restricted, with licensing, biodiversity regulation, CITES permits, and designated-port requirements.
