Compliance steps

1
Include the mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 39 goods as specified in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, with effect from 15 October 2023. Failure to furnish these qualifiers at the bill-of-entry stage renders the declaration non-compliant and liable to detention.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 and comply with the port restrictions stated in paragraph 1 of the General Notes introduced thereby. Consult paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Notification to confirm whether the specific goods qualify for the exempted-goods carve-out before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is overlooking the Chapter 39 mandatory qualifier requirement under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus when filing the bill of entry, particularly where importers treat plastic builders' ware as a straightforward free-import commodity. The qualifiers in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 apply regardless of country of origin; the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay is an additional — not alternative — compliance layer, and assuming the exempted-goods provisions of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply without checking paragraph 3 has resulted in consignment detention at non-designated ports.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3925 20 00 require BIS certification?

No, plastic doors, windows, frames and thresholds are not covered by a BIS Quality Control Order. Import is regulated by CBIC mandatory-qualifier requirements under Circular 23/2023-Cus and DGFT import-policy controls under the ITC (HS) 2022.

What are the mandatory qualifiers required at the bill of entry for this HSN?

Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30 September 2023 specify the additional qualifiers required in import declarations for Chapter 39 commodities, operative from 15 October 2023; the exact fields must be populated in the bill of entry before out-of-charge.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all plastic builders' ware imports from that origin?

Not necessarily — paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 set out categories of exempted goods, and importers must assess their specific product against those paragraphs before selecting the port of import; goods not qualifying for the exemption must enter only through the designated ports stated in paragraph 1.
