Garden or similar umbrellas and sun umbrellas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6601 10 00 (Garden or similar umbrellas) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other umbrella types within Chapter 66 — such as walking-stick umbrellas or umbrellas incorporating textile canopies subject to separate textile-related notifications — may attract distinct tariff-line treatment.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: garden parasols with integrated bases or structural frames that resemble outdoor furniture may invite customs re-examination and reclassification into Chapter 94 (furniture), which carries its own compliance exposure. A re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Confirm the product's primary function and construction against the Chapter 66 tariff notes before entry.
