Calcite

Calcite, a mineral substance not elsewhere specified

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2530 90 30 (Calcite) 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 mineral substances in Chapter 25 — such as limestone or processed calcium carbonate — may fall under tariff lines that carry distinct compliance requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate mineral; processed or ground forms marketed as precipitated calcium carbonate or ground calcium carbonate may attract classification under a more specific tariff line within Chapter 25 or Chapter 28, each with its own compliance regime. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Verify the product's processing state, purity grade, and intended use before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.

Processed calcium carbonate forms may be classified under a more specific tariff line in Chapter 25 or Chapter 28, which can attract distinct compliance requirements not applicable to unprocessed calcite.
