Millstones and grindstones for milling, grinding, or pulping
HSN 6804 10 00 (millstones and grindstones for milling, grinding, or pulping) 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. Other abrasive articles within Chapter 68 — grinding wheels, sharpening stones, and mounted abrasive products — occupy distinct tariff lines that may carry their own compliance requirements.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: grinding wheels and other abrasive articles within Chapter 68 are classified separately, and customs re-examination of the product's form, composition, or intended use can trigger re-classification to a line that does carry compliance. Retrospective compliance on re-classification may result in detention pending the relevant licence and recovery of applicable duties. Verify the product's material composition — natural stone, agglomerated abrasive, or ceramic — and its end use against the tariff before filing the bill of entry.
