A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is assuming that because it is an 'other' catch-all sub-heading, no policy conditions attach. Policy condition nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 apply by reference to the CTI and their scope must be confirmed against the current ITC (HS) Schedule before each shipment; overlooking these conditions at the bill-of-entry stage leads to consignment detention pending DGFT clarification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3812 20 90 require BIS certification?

No, compound plasticisers for rubber or plastics are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with policy condition nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 applicable at the bill-of-entry stage.

What do ITC (HS) policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 require for this tariff line?

The regulatory record references policy condition nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 as applicable; the exact operative text must be verified against the current ITC (HS) Schedule published by DGFT, as the conditions may prescribe end-use restrictions, licensing requirements, or documentary compliance obligations.

Does the residual 'Other' classification under HSN 3812 20 90 affect the policy-condition obligations?

No. The 'other' designation is a tariff residual classification, not a compliance exemption; policy condition nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 apply to this CTI regardless of the residual heading status.
