Tarfelt roofing
Tarfelt roofing, asphalt or bitumen-based, in rolls
HSN 6807 10 10 (Tarfelt roofing) 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 articles of asphalt or petroleum bitumen under Chapter 68 — such as waterproofing membranes or bituminous felts in different forms — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all bituminous roofing and waterproofing products: asphalt-based articles supplied in non-roll form, or those qualifying as construction materials subject to state-level building standards, may attract different classification and compliance exposure. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, to a tariff line covering waterproofing membranes — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the physical form, composition, and declared end-use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
