NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3404 90 39 (artificial waxes and prepared waxes — other) 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. Wax preparations formulated for specific end-uses — such as cosmetic waxes or wax-based lubricating preparations — may fall under sibling tariff lines in Chapter 34 that carry distinct compliance obligations.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all wax products within Chapter 34: petroleum waxes, chemically modified waxes, and wax preparations for cosmetic or surface-coating applications may each be classified under more specific headings that attract separate requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the precise chemical composition, intended use, and trade name of the product against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
