Moulded glass bonded or glass bonded mica

Moulded glass-bonded mica and glass-bonded mica articles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6814 90 50 (moulded glass-bonded or glass-bonded mica) 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 within Chapter 68 — particularly mica paper, mica sheets, and agglomerated or reconstituted mica in different forms — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: mica articles destined for electrical insulation applications are sometimes reclassified by customs into a more specific line within Chapter 68, and any such reclassification triggers retrospective compliance obligations. Product specification — bonding matrix, form factor, and intended use — should be documented precisely in the commercial invoice to support the declared classification. Detention pending re-classification and retrospective duty recovery are the two operational consequences of an inaccurate tariff declaration.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6814 90 50 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 article is in a different form such as mica paper, sheets, or agglomerated mica?

Alternative forms of worked mica are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 68 and may attract distinct compliance requirements, including quality control obligations that do not apply to moulded glass-bonded mica.
