Polishes and preparations for coach-work, other than metal polishes

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3405 30 00 (polishes and similar preparations for coach-work, other than metal polishes) 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 preparations within Chapter 34 — including certain surface-active or cleaning formulations — may carry distinct compliance requirements depending on composition and intended use.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns on the product being correctly classified as a coach-work polish rather than a metal polish (separately classified within heading 3405), a glass cleaner, or a surface-active washing preparation under Chapter 34. Customs re-classification on examination — for example, where a product is found to function primarily as a metal polish or a cleaning agent — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify formulation, labelling, and declared end-use against the customs tariff before relying on this absence.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3405 30 00 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 preparation is a metal polish rather than a coach-work polish?
Metal polishes are separately classified within heading 3405 and should be assessed independently for any applicable compliance requirements under Chapter 34.
