A word of counsel
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the product is freely importable because it is a chemical auxiliary rather than a finished consumer good. Policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 impose documentary obligations that apply at the bill-of-entry stage; consignments arriving without the requisite DGFT-policy declarations are detained pending compliance, accruing demurrage and ground rent.

Speak to an Expert Frequently asked
Does HSN 3810 10 10 require BIS certification?
No, pickling preparations and soldering or brazing powders and pastes are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 as the operative requirements.
What are ITC (HS) policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38?
The specific substantive content of conditions 1 and 2 must be confirmed against the current ITC (HS) Schedule I published by DGFT, as these conditions set the documentary and end-use requirements applicable to chemical-product imports under Chapter 38.
Is this tariff line freely importable or restricted?
Import is subject to ITC (HS) policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38; the consignment may only be imported once those conditions are satisfied, and non-compliance can trigger detention or a DGFT-policy enforcement action.
