Containing short-chain chlorinated paraffins
Chemical preparations containing short-chain chlorinated paraffins
HSN 3824 89 00 (Containing short-chain chlorinated paraffins) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with import governed by policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 38. No sectoral PGA licence applies independently; compliance with all three Chapter 38 policy conditions is the operative clearance requirement at the bill of entry.
- Policy condition declaration from DGFT
- Import compliance documentation from CBIC
- 1Verify that the import satisfies all three ITC (HS) policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 applicable to Chapter 38 before filing the bill of entry. Non-compliance with any of the three conditions renders the consignment liable to detention and Restricted-import enforcement.ITC (HS) import policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 38 · DGFT
- 2Upload all supporting declarations and compliance documentation in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. Customs proper officers will verify policy-condition compliance before granting out-of-charge.ITC (HS) Schedule I, Chapter 38 · DGFT
The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without confirming which of the three Chapter 38 policy conditions apply to the specific formulation being imported. Short-chain chlorinated paraffins are subject to international restriction instruments, and the precise composition of the preparation — not merely the tariff heading — determines which conditions are triggered; a declaration that conflates the preparation with an exempt sub-category will not survive Customs scrutiny and may result in consignment detention.
