Abrasive cloth

Abrasive cloth on woven textile fabric base

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6805 10 10 (Abrasive cloth on a woven textile fabric base) 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 abrasive products within Chapter 68 — including those on a paper, paperboard, or other material base — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance requirements.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to abrasive cloth on a woven textile fabric base; abrasive products on paper or paperboard bases, and cut-to-shape or sewn abrasive articles, are classified separately within Chapter 68 and may attract different treatment. Re-classification by customs on examination — for instance, if the base material is determined to be non-woven rather than woven — triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise base material specification and product form before relying on the absence of compliance here.
