Mineral waxes and similar products, other than paraffin or petroleum jelly

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2712 90 90 (other mineral waxes and similar synthesised products — not petroleum jelly, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, or slack wax) 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. Other tariff lines within Chapter 27 covering petroleum jelly and paraffin wax carry their own compliance considerations, making precise product classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this residual tariff line does not extend to more specifically described mineral wax products within Chapter 27 — petroleum jelly and paraffin wax are separately classified and subject to their own regulatory scrutiny. A customs officer who determines the goods are more accurately described under a sibling line may re-classify on examination, triggering retrospective compliance obligations and detention pending resolution. Importers should confirm purity grade, origin process, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2712 90 90 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 product is petroleum jelly or paraffin wax rather than another mineral wax?
Petroleum jelly and paraffin wax are classified under distinct tariff lines within Chapter 27 and may attract separate compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to the more specific line triggers retrospective compliance.
