SETTS, CURBSTONES AND FLAGSTONES, OF NATURAL STONE (EXCEPT SLATE)
Setts, curbstones and flagstones of natural stone, except slate
HSN 6801 00 00 (setts, curbstones and flagstones of natural stone, except slate) 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 worked natural stone articles — dressed, shaped, or finished — may fall under separate tariff lines within Chapter 68 that carry distinct compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all Chapter 68 natural stone articles: slate products are explicitly excluded and classified separately, while dressed or further-worked stone articles may fall under adjacent headings with their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where imported pieces are treated as dimensional stone rather than paving or kerbing units — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify that the product specification, form, and intended use align precisely with the setts, curbstones, and flagstones description before relying on the absence of compliance.
