Cleaning or degreasing preparations not having a basis of soap or other organic surface active agents
Cleaning or degreasing preparations, not soap-based or surfactant-based
HSN 3402 90 92 (cleaning or degreasing preparations not having a basis of soap or other organic surface-active agents) 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. Sibling tariff lines within Chapter 34 covering surface-active preparations and washing preparations that do have a soap or surfactant basis may attract distinct compliance, making precise formulation description on import documents the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns on the product genuinely lacking a soap or organic surface-active agent basis; customs re-classification to a surfactant-based or soap-based preparation line within Chapter 34 — or to a specialised cleaning preparation regulated under a different chapter — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the formulation's active ingredient basis and intended end-use against the customs tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
