Chromium ores and concentrates, other than primary grades
HSN 2610 00 90 (other chromium 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. Chromium-bearing materials processed into ferrochromium or chromium chemicals may fall under Chapter 72 or Chapter 28 tariff lines that carry distinct compliance; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to downstream chromium products: ferrochromium alloys classified under Chapter 72 and chromium compounds such as sodium dichromate or chromic acid under Chapter 28 each operate under separate regulatory regimes, including hazardous-goods controls. Re-classification on customs examination — for example, where concentrate grade or processing state triggers a more specific heading — carries retrospective compliance liability, including detention pending resolution. Verify chromium content, processing state, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
