Mica blocks

Crude mica blocks, rifted into sheets or splittings

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2525 10 10 (Mica blocks) 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. Further-processed mica forms — mica powder, mica waste, or fabricated mica articles — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 25 or Chapter 68 that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The compliance-free status at this tariff line applies specifically to crude mica blocks in their unprocessed or simply rifted form; mica that has been ground, agglomerated, or incorporated into articles may be re-classified by customs into a line that carries compliance, triggering detention and retrospective duty recovery. Verify that the product description on the commercial invoice — grade, dimensions, processing state — aligns precisely with the tariff-line definition before import.
