Titanium ores and concentrates, other than ilmenite or rutile

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2614 00 39 (Other titanium ores and concentrates — not ilmenite or rutile) 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. Ilmenite and rutile concentrates are classified under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 26 that may carry distinct compliance obligations, making precise mineralogical classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all titanium-bearing minerals: ilmenite and rutile — separately enumerated within Chapter 26 — may attract their own requirements, and titanium dioxide produced from these ores is classified under Chapter 28 where BIS compliance obligations can apply. Re-classification by customs on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the mineralogical specification and processing state of the concentrate against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2614 00 39 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the titanium concentrate is identified as ilmenite or rutile?

Ilmenite and rutile are classified under separate, more specific tariff lines within Chapter 26 and may attract distinct compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to those lines triggers retrospective compliance.
