Mica powder, dry ground

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2525 20 20 (Mica powder, dry ground) 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. Other mica products — including splittings and mica waste classified elsewhere within Chapter 25 — may attract distinct treatment depending on form and intended use.

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 the broader mica heading: wet-ground mica powder, mica splittings, and mica waste are each classified at separate tariff lines within Chapter 25 and may carry different duty structures or end-use conditions. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where particle size or processing method differs from the declared specification — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise grinding method, particle size distribution, and intended application before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2525 20 20 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.

Wet-ground mica powder is classified at a separate tariff line within Chapter 25 and may attract a different duty rate or end-use conditions, making accurate process-specification declaration on the bill of entry essential.
