Mica powder, wet ground
Mica powder, wet ground
HSN 2525 20 40 (Mica powder, wet 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other forms within Chapter 25 — including mica splittings and mica waste — fall under distinct tariff lines that may carry separate classification consequences.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader mica heading: dry-ground mica powder, mica splittings, and mica waste are each classified separately within Chapter 25 and may be treated differently on examination. Re-classification by customs — for example, where wet-ground mica is found to meet the specification of a more specific subheading — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the grinding process, particle size, and moisture content against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
