In powder

Quartzite in powder form

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2506 20 20 (quartzite in powder 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. Quartzite in other physical forms — blocks, slabs, or roughly trimmed pieces — and quartz products under the same heading may be classified differently, making precise physical-form description on import documentation the primary compliance risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to quartzite in powder form; quartzite blocks and slabs, and quartz (as distinct from quartzite) elsewhere in Chapter 25, are separately classified and may attract distinct obligations. Customs re-classification — triggered by a mismatch between the declared form and the physical examination finding — carries the risk of detention and retrospective duty recovery. Document particle size, mineralogical identity, and processing method to defend the declared classification on examination.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2506 20 20 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the quartzite is imported as blocks or slabs rather than in powder form?
Quartzite in block or slab form falls under a separate tariff line within Chapter 25 and may attract different classification treatment, warranting independent verification before import.
