Tarfelt roofing

Tarfelt roofing, asphalt or bitumen-based sheet material

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6807 90 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles of asphalt or petroleum bitumen under Chapter 68 — particularly insulation boards, waterproofing membranes, or prefabricated construction elements — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to tarfelt roofing as classified; asphalt-based construction products with overlapping descriptions can attract reclassification to a heading that does carry compliance, including under Chapter 27 (bituminous materials in bulk) or other Chapter 68 lines covering waterproofing or insulation articles. Customs reclassification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the product specification — substrate composition, surface finish, and intended application — against the customs tariff before relying on this line's clean status.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6807 90 10 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the product is a waterproofing membrane or insulation board rather than tarfelt roofing?
Such products may be classified under a different Chapter 68 tariff line or, if bituminous in bulk form, under Chapter 27, each of which carries its own compliance assessment and may attract distinct import obligations.
