NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4602 19 90 (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, or plaited goods incorporating restricted natural fibres, may fall under distinct tariff lines or attract phytosanitary scrutiny under Chapter 46 headings.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not insulate related articles: plaiting-material goods incorporating bamboo or rattan may be re-examined against specific sub-headings of Chapter 46 that carry separate classification treatment, and articles combining plaiting materials with textiles may migrate toward Chapters 57 or 63. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Confirm the primary material composition and intended use before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4602 19 90 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 of loofah rather than other plaiting materials?

Articles of loofah are separately enumerated within heading 4602 and may be classified under a distinct sub-heading, warranting independent verification of the applicable tariff line before import.
