At the bill of entry stage, account for the additional duty of customs at 4% ad valorem applicable to this tariff line. This levy is charged over and above the basic customs duty and must be correctly declared to avoid short-payment and consequent demand-and-penalty proceedings.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is omitting the 4% ad valorem additional duty of customs from duty calculations at the bill-of-entry stage. Importers who model only the basic customs duty rate are systematically under-declaring the total duty liability, exposing the consignment to a short-payment demand, interest, and monetary penalty under the Customs Act, 1962. Verify the applicable duty structure against Notification No. 53/2017-CUS before finalising landed-cost workings.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2711 19 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import of LPG for non-automotive purposes conforming to IS 4576 is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with an additional duty of customs at 4% ad valorem under Notification No. 53/2017-CUS.

What is the basis and rate of the additional duty of customs on this HSN?

An additional duty of customs at 4% ad valorem is levied under CBIC Notification No. 53/2017-CUS dated 30-06-2017 and applies over and above the basic customs duty at the bill-of-entry stage.

Does the IS 4576 conformity requirement affect the import documentation needed at the port?

Yes. The tariff description itself limits this CTI to LPG conforming to IS 4576; consignments that do not meet that standard cannot be correctly classified under 2711 19 10 and risk reclassification, detention, and duty-differential demands at the time of customs assessment.
