HSN 6810 19 10 (Cement tiles for mosaic) is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under policy condition 4 of Chapter 68. Cement tiles for mosaic are importable freely; however, rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stones are Restricted, and processed tiles or slabs of agglomerated or artificial stones are freely permitted only at a CIF value of US$ 50 or above per square metre.
- ITC (HS) policy declaration from DGFT
- CIF value invoice from exporter
- 1Verify that the goods being imported are processed cement tiles for mosaic and not rough or unprocessed blocks or slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone. Rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs are Restricted and require a separate DGFT import authorisation; misclassification at the bill of entry exposes the consignment to seizure.ITC (HS) import policy, policy condition 4 of Chapter 68
- 2If the goods are processed tiles or slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone, ensure the CIF value is US$ 50 or above per square metre before filing the bill of entry. Consignments falling below this threshold are treated as Restricted and are liable to detention pending DGFT authorisation.ITC (HS) import policy, policy condition 4 of Chapter 68
The most common error on this tariff line is conflating cement tiles for mosaic — which are freely importable — with processed tiles or slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone, which carry the US$ 50 per square metre CIF floor. Importers who incorrectly declare agglomerated-stone slabs as cement mosaic tiles to bypass the MIP condition face Restricted-import enforcement, confiscation, and monetary penalty under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992.
