Antimony ores and concentrates

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2617 10 00 (Antimony 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. Other ores, slags, and ash products within Chapter 26 may carry distinct compliance depending on mineral composition and intended downstream use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: antimony processed beyond ore or concentrate form — for instance, antimony trioxide or antimony metal — is classified outside Chapter 26 and may attract compliance under the applicable chapter for chemicals or metals. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise product specification — mineral grade, processing state, and antimony content — against the customs tariff before shipment.
