Rosin and resin acid derivatives, other than ester gums

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3806 90 90 (other derivatives of rosin and resin acids, excluding ester gums) 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 38 — particularly formulated chemical preparations derived from rosin — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

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 the broader heading: ester gums, rosin spirit, rosin oils, and run gums are each separately classified within heading 3806 and may attract distinct requirements. If customs re-classifies the goods to a more specific tariff line on examination, retrospective compliance applies — including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the precise chemical specification and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
