Articles of asphalt or similar material, other than tiles or rolls

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6807 90 90 (other articles of asphalt or similar material — petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) 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. Articles classified more specifically within Chapter 68 — such as roofing tiles, facing products, or asphalt-bonded construction panels — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance.

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

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: articles of asphalt or bituminous material that serve a defined construction function — roofing felts, damp-proof membranes, or pre-formed expansion joint fillers — may be more precisely classified elsewhere within Chapter 68 or under Chapter 27 (mineral bitumen and residues). Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and can result in detention pending duty recovery. Confirm the article's intended use, form factor, and binding material against the customs tariff schedule before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6807 90 90 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 article is a roofing felt or bituminous membrane in roll form?
Roofing felts and roll-form bituminous membranes may be classifiable under a more specific heading within Chapter 68, which could attract a distinct compliance regime upon customs examination.
