WORKED SLATE AND ARTICLES OF SLATE OR OF AGGLOMERATED SLATE

Worked slate and articles of slate or agglomerated slate

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6803 00 00 (Worked slate and articles of slate or agglomerated 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 articles of stone or construction materials within Chapter 68 may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance; classification accuracy against the precise material and product form is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all articles within Chapter 68: certain stone-based construction products — including those incorporating asbestos or cement — attract separate regulatory treatment under the same chapter. Re-classification on customs examination, for instance where a product is determined to be an article of a different stone or a composite material, triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise material composition and product form against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6803 00 00 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 from a different stone or a composite material rather than slate?

Articles of other stones or composite construction materials may be classified under a different tariff line within Chapter 68 that carries its own compliance requirements, and re-classification by customs would trigger retrospective obligations.
