Ilmenite, upgraded (beneficiated ilmenite including ilmenite ground)
Upgraded ilmenite, beneficiated or ground
HSN 2614 00 20 (upgraded ilmenite, including beneficiated and ground ilmenite) 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 titanium ores and concentrates classified within heading 2614, or titanium-bearing mineral sands regulated under atomic minerals legislation, may carry separate compliance obligations at the tariff-line or statutory level.
Ilmenite is a designated atomic mineral under Indian law, and export restrictions apply domestically; the absence of a BIS Quality Control Order on this import tariff line does not displace any restriction arising from atomic minerals legislation or DGFT policy on strategic minerals. A customs re-classification — for example, to natural rutile or leucoxene concentrates elsewhere in Chapter 26 — triggers retrospective compliance review and potential detention. Verify the TiO₂ content, beneficiation method, and mineral origin against the precise tariff description before filing the bill of entry.
