Crude kaolin and other kaolinic clays, uncalcined

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2507 00 10 (crude kaolin and other kaolinic clays, uncalcined) 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. Calcined or otherwise processed kaolinic clays classified elsewhere within Chapter 25 may attract distinct compliance requirements, making accurate specification of processing state the principal classification risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to crude, unprocessed kaolin; calcined kaolinic clays are separately classifiable within Chapter 25 and may carry their own compliance requirements. Where customs re-examines the declared processing state and reclassifies the shipment, retrospective compliance obligations and potential detention follow. Importers should confirm processing state, moisture content, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
