Gypsum and anhydrite, other than selenite or fibrous gypsum

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2520 10 90 (Other gypsum and anhydrite) 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. Calcined gypsum and plasters falling under the same heading may attract distinct compliance; classification by processing state is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to calcined or processed forms: plasters consisting of calcined gypsum or calcium sulphate, classified separately within Chapter 25, and gypsum-based construction products under Chapter 68, each carry their own regulatory considerations. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending verification. Confirm the product's processing state, intended use, and purity grade against the customs tariff before relying on this absence of compliance.
