Other articles of cement, concrete or artificial stone
HSN 6810 19 90 (Other articles of cement, concrete or artificial stone) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Import is generally free, but rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone are Restricted; processed tiles and slabs are freely importable only when the CIF value is US$ 50 or above per square metre, per policy condition 4 to Chapter 68.
- MIP-compliant CIF declaration from DGFT
- Commercial invoice from exporter
- 1Confirm that the goods being imported are not rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone, which are Restricted under the ITC (HS) import policy. A goods description that indicates unprocessed or rough-cut material triggers the Restricted-import regime and requires separate DGFT authorisation.ITC (HS) import policy, policy condition 4 to Chapter 68
- 2For processed tiles and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone, verify that the CIF value is US$ 50 or above per square metre at the time of filing the bill of entry. Consignments below this Minimum Import Price are not freely importable and attract Restricted-import enforcement.ITC (HS) import policy, policy condition 4 to Chapter 68
The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the 'free' general import status with an unrestricted entry for all sub-categories of the heading. The MIP condition of US$ 50 per square metre applies specifically to processed tiles and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stone and is a hard floor — a CIF value below that threshold converts an apparently free-import transaction into a Restricted-import breach, exposing the consignment to detention and re-export.
