Chrome ore lumps, containing 47% Cr2O3 and above

Chrome ore lumps with 47% Cr2O3 or above

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2610 00 10 (chrome ore lumps containing 47% Cr2O3 and above) 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. Chrome ore concentrates or beneficiated chromium products at different grade thresholds may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 26 that carry distinct treatment, including potential export-side controls that affect re-import documentation.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to chrome ore lumps meeting the 47% Cr2O3 threshold; material assayed below that threshold, or chrome ore fines and concentrates, is classified separately and may attract a different duty or documentation regime. Re-classification following customs examination — triggered by a lower assay certificate or a different physical form — can result in detention pending re-assessment and retrospective duty recovery. Verify the assay certificate and the physical form of the consignment against the tariff description before relying on this absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2610 00 10 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the chrome ore contains less than 47% Cr2O3 or is in fines form rather than lumps?

Such material falls under a different tariff line within Chapter 26, which may carry a distinct duty rate and documentation requirement, and customs re-classification triggers retrospective compliance.
