With nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance
Catalytic preparations with nickel or nickel compounds as active substance
HSN 3815 11 00 (catalytic preparations with nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance) 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 catalytic preparations under Chapter 38, particularly those containing precious metals or hazardous compounds, may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all catalytic preparations: those based on precious metals, or preparations that cross into restricted chemical territory under India's chemical import notifications, are classified differently and may attract additional clearances. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, a determination that the product is a preparation more specifically described elsewhere in Chapter 38 — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise formulation, active substance concentration, and end-use description against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
