A word of counsel

The CCR for this tariff line flags policy conditions nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 as potentially applicable — the word 'may' signals that applicability depends on the specific nature and end-use of the TMQ mixture being imported. Importers who treat this line as unconditionally free risk detention at the bill-of-entry stage if the proper officer determines a condition is triggered; confirm the applicable condition with DGFT before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3812 31 00 require BIS certification?
No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers TMQ anti-oxidant stabilisers under this tariff line. 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 potentially applicable.
What are ITC (HS) Chapter 38 policy conditions nos. 1 and 2?
The specific text of conditions nos. 1 and 2 applicable to Chapter 38 is set out in Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022 published by DGFT; importers should consult the current ITC (HS) Schedule to confirm which condition applies to their transaction.
Does the conditional applicability of the policy conditions mean import is otherwise free?
Not automatically. The 'may be subject to' language means the proper officer at the port of import retains discretion to apply the conditions; treating the import as unconditionally free without verifying the conditions exposes the consignment to detention and potential re-export.
