Rare earth oxides including rutile sand
Rare earth oxides and rutile sand, titanium ore concentrates
HSN 2614 00 31 (Rare earth oxides including rutile sand) 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 ore and concentrate classifications within Chapter 26 — particularly ilmenite and synthetic rutile — may carry distinct compliance obligations, and classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 26 category: ilmenite, synthetic rutile, and leucoxene are classified separately and may attract atomic minerals or environment-related clearances depending on origin and processing state. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending any applicable licence. Verify the precise mineral composition, processing state, and rare earth oxide content against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
