Chrysotile asbestos (white asbestos, serpentine asbestos)
HSN 2524 90 21 (Chrysotile) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), classified as Free subject to policy condition no. 1 of Chapter 25. No additional sectoral PGA clearance is listed for this tariff line, though the Chapter 25 policy condition may impose specific end-use or documentation requirements at the bill-of-entry stage.
- Policy condition declaration from DGFT
- ITC (HS) Chapter 25 compliance from importer
- 1Confirm the import satisfies ITC (HS) policy condition no. 1 of Chapter 25 before filing the bill of entry. Although the tariff line is classified Free, the policy condition attaches a specific requirement that must be met for customs out-of-charge.ITC (HS) import policy, Chapter 25, policy condition no. 1
- 2Ensure all relevant documentation is uploaded in e-Sanchit at the bill-of-entry stage, including any declaration required by the Chapter 25 policy condition.

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Free classification as unconditional clearance. Policy condition no. 1 of Chapter 25 attaches to the Free status and must be satisfied independently; a consignment that arrives without the required condition documentation remains liable to detention at the customs station pending compliance, notwithstanding the Free ITC (HS) classification.
