Other articles of carbon fibres

Other articles of carbon fibres, not elsewhere specified

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6815 13 00 (Other articles of 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Articles of carbon fibres with a specific end-use — such as those incorporated into electrical or mechanical components classified elsewhere — may fall under a different Chapter 68 or cross-chapter tariff line that does carry compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: carbon-fibre articles that are further worked into electrical components, friction materials, or reinforced composites may be more precisely classified under Chapter 68 sibling lines or under entirely separate chapters, some of which carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product's end-use, degree of processing, and material composition against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6815 13 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.

What changes if the carbon-fibre article is a friction or electrical component?

Carbon-fibre articles further processed into friction materials, electrical parts, or structural composites may be classifiable under a more specific tariff line within Chapter 68 or an adjacent chapter, which may attract its own compliance obligations.
