Millstones, grindstones, and grinding wheels of natural stone

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6804 23 90 (grinding wheels and similar abrasive tools of natural stone, other than millstones or grindstones) 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. Abrasive tools made from agglomerated natural or artificial abrasives, or ceramics, fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 68 that may carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to grinding and abrasive tools of natural stone; products manufactured from agglomerated abrasives or ceramics are separately classified within Chapter 68 and may be subject to Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders. Re-classification by customs on examination — for instance, where a product is found to be of bonded abrasive rather than natural stone construction — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise material composition and manufacturing method before relying on this tariff line.
