Modelling pastes, including those put up for children's amusement

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3407 00 10 (modelling pastes, including those put up for children's amusement) 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. Other products within Chapter 34 — notably dental wax and dental impression compounds classified under the same heading — share a tariff neighbourhood where end-use determines the correct tariff line, making accurate classification the principal importer risk.

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

Heading 3407 groups modelling pastes with dental wax and plaster-based dental preparations; customs officers may query end-use to determine whether the correct tariff line has been declared. A re-classification to a dental or medical-use line could engage compliance under a different regulatory regime, triggering detention pending the relevant licence. Verify that the product specification — intended use, composition, and retail packaging — matches the declared tariff line before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3407 00 10 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 product is a dental wax or dental impression compound rather than a modelling paste?
Dental wax and dental impression compounds fall within the same heading 3407 but may be subject to distinct end-use scrutiny or re-classification that triggers compliance applicable to dental or medical preparations under a separate regulatory regime.
