A word of counsel
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that because prepared binders are industrial chemical inputs they attract no policy controls. The CCR records conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 38 as potentially applicable, meaning the operative restriction depends on the precise chemical composition of the formulation — importers who ship without first mapping the formulation against all three conditions risk consignment detention pending policy-condition clearance.

Speak to an Expert Frequently asked
Does HSN 3824 10 00 require BIS certification?
No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 38 potentially applicable.
Do all three Chapter 38 policy conditions apply to every shipment under this tariff line?
The CCR records conditions 1, 2 and 3 as potentially applicable; which conditions are operative depends on the chemical composition and end-use of the specific formulation, and must be assessed against the current ITC (HS) Schedule before each import.
What happens if the applicable policy condition is not satisfied at the bill of entry?
Failure to satisfy an applicable Chapter 38 policy condition at the bill-of-entry stage exposes the consignment to detention and demurrage pending regularisation, and may attract monetary penalty under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992.
