NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4602 19 19 (other basketwork, wickerwork, and articles made from plaiting materials) 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. Articles of loofah, and plaited goods made from specific named materials such as bamboo or rattan, may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 46 that carry distinct classification treatment.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The residual nature of this tariff line — covering articles not elsewhere specified within Chapter 46 — makes precise classification the primary importer risk. Goods classified here on self-assessment may be re-classified by customs to a more specific tariff line on examination, triggering retrospective duty recovery and possible detention. Confirm that the plaiting material, construction method, and end use squarely fall outside every named subheading in Chapter 46 before relying on this residual line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4602 19 19 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 article is made specifically from bamboo, rattan, or loofah?

Those materials and forms are classified under more specific subheadings within Chapter 46 and should be assessed against those lines, which may carry distinct tariff treatment.
