Graphite, micronised

Natural graphite, micronised

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2504 90 10 (Graphite, micronised) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other natural graphite forms — crystalline flake, lump, or dust — are classified under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 25 that may carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to micronised natural graphite; graphite in other physical forms or with a declared industrial application may be re-classified by customs into a line that does carry compliance requirements. Re-classification on examination triggers detention pending retrospective compliance and potential duty recovery. Confirm that the particle-size specification, purity grade, and intended end-use all align with the micronised natural graphite tariff description before relying on this absence.
