Manganese ores and concentrates, other grades

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2602 00 90 (Other manganese ores and concentrates — ferruginous or otherwise, with manganese content of 20% or more on a dry-weight basis) 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. Manganese-bearing materials processed into alloys, chemicals, or battery-grade compounds may fall under different chapters that carry their own compliance regimes.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: manganese ore processed beyond concentration — into ferroalloys (Chapter 72), manganese dioxide (Chapter 28), or battery-grade manganese compounds (Chapter 28) — carries separate tariff treatment and may attract compliance obligations absent here. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Verify manganese content percentage, processing state, and intended downstream use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
