Coffins

Wooden coffins for burial or funeral use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4421 20 00 (Coffins) 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 articles of wood under Chapter 44 — such as wooden furniture or builders' joinery — may attract separate compliance depending on the specific product form and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all wood-based products: articles of wood that qualify as furniture are classifiable under Chapter 94, which carries its own regulatory landscape, and wood in the form of builders' joinery or carpentry falls under Chapter 44 headings that may attract BIS Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Confirm the product's precise description and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4421 20 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the imported wooden article is furniture rather than a coffin?
Wooden furniture is classifiable under Chapter 94 rather than Chapter 44 and may attract separate compliance obligations; re-classification by customs to the applicable furniture heading triggers retrospective compliance.
