Mica splittings, loose

Crude mica splittings, loose and unprocessed

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2525 10 40 (Mica splittings, loose) 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. Processed mica forms — such as 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 absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to loose mica splittings in crude or rifted form; mica processed into sheets, powder, or manufactured articles is classified elsewhere and may attract separate requirements under Chapter 25 or Chapter 68. Customs re-classification — triggered if the declared form does not match physical examination — carries the risk of retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Verify the product's physical form and processing state against the customs tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance here.
