Dolomite not calcined or sintered

Dolomite, not calcined or sintered, in natural or rough form

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2518 10 00 (Dolomite, not calcined or sintered) 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. Other forms of dolomite — calcined, sintered, or cut into dimensional blocks — are classified under sibling tariff lines within heading 2518 and may carry different compliance profiles.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: dolomite that has been calcined or sintered, or dolomite shaped into rectangular blocks or slabs for construction use, may be re-classified by customs to a different tariff line within Chapter 25, triggering retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Importers should confirm the precise product state — raw, crushed, or merely trimmed — against the applicable tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2518 10 00 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 dolomite has been calcined or sintered?

Calcined or sintered dolomite is classified under a separate tariff line within heading 2518 and may attract distinct compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to that line triggers retrospective compliance.
