Grinding wheels made of natural stone
Grinding wheels of natural stone for sharpening or cutting
HSN 6804 23 10 (grinding wheels made of natural stone) 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. Grinding and abrasive tools of agglomerated artificial abrasives or ceramics, classified elsewhere under Chapter 68, may carry distinct compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to grinding wheels of natural stone; wheels of bonded or agglomerated artificial abrasives — including those with resinoid, vitrified, or rubber bonds — are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 68 and may attract product-specific standards. Re-classification on customs examination, for example where the bonding material or abrasive type is misidentified, triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the precise material composition and manufacturing method against the customs tariff before shipment.
