Of crocidolite

Fabricated asbestos articles and mixtures of crocidolite

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

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.

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

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.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6812 80 00 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 under BIS or Partner Government Agency frameworks.
What changes if the asbestos article is made from a fibre type other than crocidolite?
Articles of chrysotile or other asbestos varieties are classified under separate lines within Chapter 68 and may attract distinct compliance or prohibition regimes under environment and hazardous-substance notifications.
