NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2525 10 90 (crude mica and mica rifted into sheets or splittings — other than the specifically classified grades) 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 or fabricated mica products — such as mica powder, mica waste, or manufactured mica articles — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 25 or Chapter 68 that carry distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to crude and split mica; mica powder, mica waste, and worked mica articles are separately classified and may attract different treatment on examination. Re-classification by customs — for instance, where the product is determined to be mica waste or a processed mica form — triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending resolution. Verify the precise physical description and processing state against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2525 10 90 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 mica is in powder, flake, or waste form rather than crude or split sheets?

Mica powder, splittings waste, and mica waste are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 25 and may attract distinct compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to the more specific line triggers retrospective compliance.
