Prefabricated structural components for building or civil engineering
HSN 6810 91 00 (Prefabricated structural components for building or civil engineering) is subject to ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with a split regime under Policy Condition 4 of Chapter 68. Import of rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stones is Restricted, while processed tiles and slabs are freely importable provided the CIF value is US$ 50 or above per square metre.
- MIP-compliant CIF declaration from DGFT
- Commercial invoice from exporter
- Processing status declaration from exporter
- 1Determine at the bill-of-entry stage whether the goods are rough or unprocessed blocks and slabs of agglomerated or artificial stones; such goods are Restricted under Policy Condition 4 of Chapter 68 and require a DGFT import licence before clearance.ITC (HS) import policy, Policy Condition 4 to Chapter 68
- 2If the consignment comprises processed tiles or slabs of agglomerated or artificial stones, confirm the CIF value is US$ 50 or above per square metre. A consignment falling below this Minimum Import Price threshold is treated as Restricted and cannot be cleared freely.ITC (HS) import policy, Policy Condition 4 to Chapter 68
The most common error on this tariff line is filing a single bill of entry for a mixed shipment containing both rough blocks and processed tiles without segregating the two categories. The rough blocks attract the Restricted-import status regardless of the processed-tile MIP compliance, and a mixed consignment assessed as Restricted is liable to detention and refusal of out-of-charge for the entire shipment. Ensure the commercial invoice and packing list distinguish processed from unprocessed goods by line item before the vessel sails.
