Chrome ore lumps below 40% Cr2O3

Chrome ore lumps below 40% Cr2O3 content

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2610 00 30 (chrome ore lumps below 40% 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other chromium ore and concentrate classifications — including higher-grade lumps, fines, or beneficiated concentrates within Chapter 26 — may attract distinct compliance or export-control treatment depending on grade and form.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: chrome ore lumps at or above 40% Cr2O3 are classified under a sibling tariff line within Chapter 26 and may carry different duty or compliance treatment. Customs re-classification on examination — whether on grade, form, or intended use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the Cr2O3 assay certificate against the declared tariff line before shipment.
