Petroleum jelly, other than crude or for industrial use
HSN 2712 10 90 (petroleum jelly — other than crude) 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. Within Chapter 27, petroleum jelly intended for pharmaceutical or cosmetic use may attract oversight from drug or cosmetic regulators depending on the declared end-use and product formulation.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all petroleum jelly imports: crude petroleum jelly is separately classified and may be subject to different treatment, while finished preparations incorporating petroleum jelly as a base may fall under Chapters 30 or 33, each carrying distinct licensing and labelling requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where end-use declarations suggest pharmaceutical or cosmetic application — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product grade, intended use, and formulation status before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
