Compliance steps

1
Include all mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 39 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, with effect from 15 October 2023. Failure to include the required qualifiers at the bill-of-entry stage results in detention pending amendment.
CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, para 4.1 and 4.2
2
Where the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 07/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025: confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in paragraphs 2 and 3, and ensure routing through a permitted port as stated in paragraph 1 of the General Notes overlay. Non-exempt Bangladesh-origin goods imported through a non-designated port are liable to detention and re-export.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is overlooking the Chapter 39 qualifier requirement introduced by CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus and treating it as a Chapter 28/29 chemical-only obligation. The qualifier mandate applies explicitly to Chapter 39 commodities including builders' ware of plastics, and a bill of entry filed without the stipulated qualifiers is subject to amendment detention and associated demurrage — even where the goods are otherwise freely importable and the consignment is correctly classified.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3925 30 00 require BIS certification?

No, plastic shutters and blinds under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) 2022 policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with the CBIC Chapter 39 qualifier requirement applying at the bill-of-entry stage.

What are the mandatory qualifiers required for Chapter 39 import declarations under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus?

Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30 September 2023 specify the mandatory additional qualifiers for import declarations covering commodities under Chapters 28, 29, 32, 39 and CTH 3808; the circular should be consulted for the precise qualifier fields applicable to each commodity.

Does the Bangladesh-origin port restriction under DGFT Notification 07/2025-26 apply to all plastic builders' ware?

Only if the goods are not covered by the exemptions in paragraphs 2 and 3 of the notification; exempt goods may be imported without the port restriction, but the importer must document the basis of the exemption at the bill-of-entry stage.
