A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is misclassifying a specific named gaseous hydrocarbon — such as butane, propane, or ethylene — into the 2711 19 90 residual entry when a more specific 8-digit CTI exists under heading 2711. Misclassification attracts short-levy notices and potential misdeclaration liability under the Customs Act, 1962; classification should be confirmed against the full 2711 heading structure before the bill of entry is filed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2711 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, this tariff line is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) 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 dated 30-06-2017.

What is the additional duty rate applicable at import, and under which notification is it levied?

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

Can a consignment of a named gaseous hydrocarbon such as butane or propane be classified under 2711 19 90?

Only if no specific 8-digit CTI under heading 2711 covers that hydrocarbon; this entry is a residual, and classification into 2711 19 90 when a specific sub-heading applies constitutes misdeclaration, attracting short-levy recovery and penalty under the Customs Act, 1962.
