Rosin and resin acids, other than gum rosin

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3806 10 90 (Other rosin and resin acids — other than gum rosin) 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 derivatives and preparations within Chapter 38 — such as rosin spirit, rosin oils, or chemically modified resin acids — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance considerations.

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 rosin and resin acid products: gum rosin is separately classified within heading 3806 and may attract different treatment, while certain downstream derivatives used as adhesives or surface coatings can fall within other Chapter 38 headings subject to their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — based on product grade, processing state, or declared end-use — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the precise product specification and intended application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
