Of crocidolite
Fabricated asbestos articles and mixtures of crocidolite
HSN 6812 80 00 (fabricated asbestos fibres, mixtures, and articles of crocidolite) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Crocidolite is a blue-asbestos variety subject to international trade restrictions; importers should verify current Foreign Trade Policy prohibitions and Environmental Protection Act notifications under Chapter 68 before concluding no restriction applies.
The absence of a BIS Quality Control Order at this tariff line does not resolve the broader regulatory exposure: crocidolite is among the most hazardous asbestos varieties and may be subject to import prohibition or restriction under the Environment Protection Act and allied hazardous-waste notifications, which operate independently of the customs tariff. Re-classification by customs to a related asbestos-article line, or detection of a prohibited fibre type, can trigger detention and retrospective compliance. Verify the precise fibre variety and intended use against current DGFT and Ministry of Environment notifications before shipment.
