Articles of graphite or other non-electrical mineral substances

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6815 19 00 (articles of stone or other mineral substances, not elsewhere specified or included) 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 articles within Chapter 68 — including those of asbestos, mica, or cement — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations, making precise classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The residual nature of this tariff line means it captures a wide range of mineral-substance articles; customs re-classification to a more specific heading within Chapter 68 — or to a neighbouring chapter covering the same material in a different form — can trigger retrospective compliance and detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify that the product genuinely falls outside all named subheadings in Chapter 68 before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6815 19 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 article is made of asbestos, mica, or cement-based materials?

Those materials are classified under specific subheadings within Chapter 68 and may attract distinct compliance obligations upon customs re-classification.
