Natural graphite, other than in powder or flakes
HSN 2504 90 90 (natural graphite, other than in powder or flakes form) 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. Natural graphite classified in powder or flakes form falls under a sibling tariff line within Chapter 25 that may carry distinct compliance considerations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all graphite products: graphite in powder or flakes form is separately classified within Chapter 25 and may attract different treatment, while synthetic graphite falls under Chapter 38 with its own classification and potential compliance obligations. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where product form or purity grade shifts the applicable heading — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise physical form and grade of graphite against the customs tariff before relying on this absence of compliance.
