Agglomerated lignite

Agglomerated lignite, excluding jet

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2702 20 00 (Agglomerated lignite) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other mineral fuels and coal products within Chapter 27 may attract distinct compliance requirements depending on form, calorific grade, or intended end-use.

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 the broader Chapter 27 schedule: non-agglomerated lignite, coal, and carbonised or distilled derivatives each fall under separate tariff lines that may carry their own regulatory treatment. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, from agglomerated to non-agglomerated lignite, or to a coal-adjacent heading — triggers retrospective compliance and the risk of detention pending resolution. Confirm the product's agglomeration method and physical specification against the customs tariff before shipping.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2702 20 00 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 lignite is not agglomerated?

Non-agglomerated lignite is classified separately within Chapter 27 and may attract distinct compliance or licensing requirements; re-classification by customs to that line triggers retrospective compliance.
