Compliance steps

1
Ensure the CIF value of the consignment is USD 50 or above per square metre before filing the bill of entry. This Minimum Import Price applies to granite slabs of maximum 20 mm thickness; consignments priced below this threshold are not freely importable under the ITC (HS) policy.

2
Declare the CIF value per square metre on the commercial invoice and bill of entry in a manner that allows the customs proper officer to verify MIP compliance at the time of assessment. Ensure the invoice separately states slab dimensions and thickness to confirm the 20 mm maximum-thickness condition.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting aggregate invoice values without a per-square-metre CIF breakdown, which prevents the assessing officer from verifying MIP compliance and triggers a hold pending re-documentation. Confirm that the commercial invoice states the CIF unit rate in USD per square metre and that the slab thickness is explicitly declared at or below 20 mm; any shortfall on either condition exposes the consignment to reassessment and potential detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6802 23 90 require BIS certification?

No, worked granite articles under this tariff line fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Minimum Import Price condition of USD 50 per square metre for slabs up to 20 mm thickness.

Does the USD 50 per square metre MIP condition apply to all granite products under this HSN?

The MIP condition as stated in the ITC (HS) policy applies to slabs of maximum 20 mm thickness; granite articles that do not fall within the slab-and-thickness parameters should be assessed against the applicable policy condition in force at the time of import.

What happens if the consignment CIF value falls below the USD 50 per square metre threshold?

A consignment priced below the MIP is not freely importable and is liable to detention and reassessment at the port; the importer may face re-export or confiscation if the MIP condition cannot be satisfied retrospectively.
