Other abrasive paper

Abrasive paper on a paper or paperboard base, other types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6805 20 40 (Other abrasive paper on a paper or paperboard 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Abrasive products on a textile base, or abrasive cloth made up into specific industrial forms, may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 68 that carry distinct compliance considerations.

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 the full Chapter 68 heading: abrasive products on a textile base or those made up into wheels, discs, or other bonded forms may be classified elsewhere and may carry separate obligations. Re-classification by customs — for example, to a tariff line covering abrasive products on a textile or combined base — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the base material and product form precisely against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
