Human hair, unworked, whether or not washed or scoured
HSN 0501 00 10 (Human hair, unworked, whether or not washed or scoured) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Worked or processed human hair products — such as wigs, hairpieces, or hair preparations — are classified under different chapters and may attract distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to unworked human hair; waste of human hair classified under the same heading also carries no current requirement, but any further processing or preparation changes the classification picture entirely. Re-classification by customs on examination — for instance, where hair has been sorted, bleached, or otherwise processed — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the condition and processing state of the consignment precisely against the tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
