Slag wool, rock wool and similar mineral wools, in bulk, sheets or rolls

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6806 10 00 (slag wool, rock wool and similar mineral wools in bulk, sheets or rolls) 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 products within Chapter 68 — including articles of asbestos-cement or articles of heading 6811 or 6812 — carry distinct compliance requirements, and classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

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 neighbouring lines within Chapter 68: articles of heat-insulating or sound-absorbing mineral materials presented in fabricated or finished form may attract separate regulatory treatment, and certain asbestos-containing mineral materials fall under heading 6812 with its own restrictions. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending resolution. Verify that the product's form — bulk, sheet, or roll — and mineral composition precisely match this tariff line before relying on the absence of compliance.
