Chrome ore lumps, 40% or more but less than 47% Cr2O3
HSN 2610 00 20 (chrome ore lumps containing 40% or more but less than 47% Cr2O3) 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 chromium ore and concentrate tariff lines within Chapter 26 — particularly those at higher Cr2O3 grades or in concentrate form — may carry distinct treatment; classification against the precise assay certificate is the principal importer risk.
Chromium ore is graded primarily by Cr2O3 content, and a consignment assaying at or above the 47% threshold falls into a different tariff line entirely; customs re-classification on post-clearance examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Chromite concentrates, as distinct from run-of-mine lumps, are separately classified and may attract different regulatory treatment. Verify the assay certificate and the physical form of the ore against the tariff description before finalising the bill of entry.
