Of poly (oxyethylene) (polyethylene glycol)
Artificial waxes of polyethylene glycol (poly oxyethylene)
HSN 3404 20 00 (artificial waxes of poly(oxyethylene), commonly known as polyethylene glycol 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 wax products within Chapter 34 — including petroleum-derived or chemically modified natural waxes — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance considerations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns on the product being correctly identified as an artificial wax of poly(oxyethylene): polyethylene glycol used as a chemical intermediate or industrial processing agent may attract different classification and regulatory treatment depending on its declared end-use. Customs re-classification — for instance, to a surface-active agent or lubricating preparation elsewhere in Chapter 34, or to a polymer preparation under Chapter 39 — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm molecular weight range, physical form, and intended use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
