A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating Pakur stone as an inert mineral aggregate outside any phytosanitary oversight and omitting the PQIS import permit entirely. Crushed stone consignments arriving without the permit uploaded in e-Sanchit are held pending PGA NOC routing, attracting detention, demurrage, and ground rent at the port until the permit is regularised — a process that cannot be completed retrospectively in most cases.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2517 10 10 require BIS certification?

No, crushed or broken Pakur stone is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Plant Quarantine Information System permit requirement, with the PQIS import permit (document code 911PQ1) mandatorily uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.

Is the PQIS import permit required for every consignment of Pakur stone?

Yes. The CCR instruction requires the PQIS import permit (document code 911PQ1) to be uploaded in e-Sanchit for every bill of entry; the proper officer verifies this upload before granting out-of-charge.

What happens if the consignment is not routed through the PGA for NOC?

For PGA-facilitated bills not routed through the PGA, the proper officer must independently verify that the PQIS import permit has been uploaded in e-Sanchit; absence of the document results in detention of the consignment pending regularisation.
