Other aluminium ores and concentrates

Aluminium ores and concentrates, other than bauxite

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2606 00 90 (Other aluminium ores and concentrates) 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. Bauxite — the principal aluminium ore — is separately classified within Chapter 26 and may attract distinct treatment; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

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 all aluminium-bearing minerals: bauxite classified elsewhere within Chapter 26, and aluminium compounds processed further under Chapter 28, each carry their own regulatory considerations. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending duty recovery. Verify the ore type, aluminium content, and processing state against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Bauxite is classified separately within Chapter 26 and processed aluminium compounds fall under Chapter 28, each of which may attract distinct compliance requirements on customs examination.
