Micapaper or reconstituted mica paper

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6814 90 40 (micapaper or reconstituted mica paper) 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. Other worked mica and mica articles under Chapter 68 — particularly those incorporating asbestos-based supports or used in specific electrical insulation applications — may attract distinct compliance at their respective tariff lines.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all mica-based articles within Chapter 68; worked mica products used as electrical insulation components, or mica agglomerated on paperboard or other materials for specialist industrial uses, may be classified at neighbouring lines that carry their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending any applicable licence or certificate. Verify the product specification — binder content, support material, intended end-use — against the customs tariff before shipping.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6814 90 40 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.

What changes if the mica paper is laminated onto a support or incorporated into an electrical insulation article?

Mica articles on a paperboard or other support, or finished electrical insulation components, may be classified at a different tariff line within Chapter 68 that could attract compliance obligations not applicable to bare micapaper.
