58% Fe or more but below 60% Fe
Non-agglomerated iron ore, 58% Fe or more but below 60% Fe
HSN 2601 11 29 (non-agglomerated iron ore with 58% Fe or more but below 60% Fe) 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 iron ore tariff lines — particularly agglomerated ores, iron ore pellets, or roasted iron pyrites elsewhere in Chapter 26 — may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on form and processing state.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: the customs tariff grades iron ore by both agglomeration state and iron content, and a customs officer's re-determination of either parameter can shift the goods to a sibling line. Roasted iron pyrites, classified separately within Chapter 26, carry their own compliance regime and must not be conflated with standard iron ore concentrates. Retrospective compliance following re-classification may include detention pending reassessment and, where applicable, retrospective duty recovery.
