NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3407 00 90 (other modelling pastes, dental wax, dental impression compounds, and plaster-based dental preparations) 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. Dental devices and medical-grade impression materials with a therapeutic or diagnostic classification may fall under Chapter 90 and attract separate regulatory requirements.

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

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: dental impression compounds or waxes that qualify as medical devices under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act may be re-classified into Chapter 90, triggering retrospective compliance obligations and potential detention pending the appropriate clearance. Children's modelling pastes marketed with cosmetic or safety claims may similarly attract scrutiny under a different chapter. Verify the intended use, labelling, and composition against the customs tariff and any applicable product-safety framework before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3407 00 90 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 dental impression compound is classified as a medical device?
Dental products meeting the definition of a medical device may be re-classified under Chapter 90, which carries its own regulatory requirements, and customs re-classification triggers retrospective compliance including potential detention.
