Lignite, whether or not pulverised, but not agglomerated
HSN 2702 10 00 (lignite, whether or not pulverised, but not agglomerated) 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. Agglomerated lignite is classified separately within Chapter 27 and may attract distinct treatment; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all lignite-derived or related products: agglomerated lignite falls under a separate heading within Chapter 27, and mineral fuels further processed into coke, briquettes, or synthetic solid fuels may carry their own classification and compliance considerations. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where the product has been agglomerated or blended — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the precise physical form and processing state of the consignment against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
