Other slag, ash and incineration residues
HSN 2621 90 00 (Other slag and ash) carries a Restricted-import status under the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with import subject to Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy. Consignments also attract mandatory compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 as a concurrent overlay.
- Import authorisation from DGFT
- Compliance declaration from DGFT
- Hazardous waste permit from State authority
- 1Confirm the import is covered by a valid DGFT authorisation permitting import of this Restricted tariff line and that the consignment satisfies Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy of ITC (HS). Restricted-status goods filed without prior authorisation are liable to confiscation and monetary penalty at the bill of entry.ITC (HS) Import Policy, Para 8(b) of General Notes
- 2Ensure full compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 before the consignment is shipped. These rules govern transboundary movement of hazardous waste and require prior informed consent and movement documentation to be in place before out-of-charge.Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, Rules 12 and 13
The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating it as an industrial raw material and overlooking the hazardous-waste overlay: slag and incineration residues that meet the waste characterisation criteria under the Hazardous Waste Rules attract Rules 12 and 13 transboundary-movement obligations independently of the DGFT Restricted-import authorisation. Arriving without the Rules 12 and 13 documentation constitutes a separate environmental violation and can trigger detention and re-export orders regardless of whether the DGFT policy condition is otherwise met.
