Candles
Candles for general use (tapers, household, decorative)
HSN 3406 00 10 (Candles) 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 products within Chapter 34 — including wax preparations and polishes — may carry distinct compliance requirements depending on composition and intended use.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to candles as classified under HSN 3406 00 10; products that blend candle manufacture with electrical components or fragrance dispensing may attract classification under a different chapter with its own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, to a chapter covering prepared waxes or electrical apparatus — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify composition, intended use, and any embedded components against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
