Carbon fibres
Carbon fibres, not elsewhere specified or included
HSN 6815 11 00 (Carbon fibres) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Articles manufactured from carbon fibres, or composite materials incorporating carbon fibres, may be classified under distinct sibling tariff lines within Chapter 68 that carry their own compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to raw carbon fibres; finished articles of carbon fibres classified elsewhere in Chapter 68, or carbon fibre-reinforced products under other chapters, are subject to separate determination. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the imported goods are found to be articles of carbon fibre rather than the fibre itself — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify that the product matches the tariff-line scope precisely, including form, processing state, and end-use, before relying on the absence of compliance here.
