Articles containing magnesite, periclase, dolomite, dolime, or chromite

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6815 91 00 (articles of mineral substances containing magnesite, magnesia in the form of periclase, dolomite including dolime, or chromite) 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. Other articles of stone and mineral substances under Chapter 68 — particularly those used in construction or with specified material compositions — may fall under tariff lines that carry compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the residual, unspecified nature of this category; closely related refractory articles within Chapter 68 or Chapter 69 (ceramic refractory goods) may carry distinct compliance regimes, and a customs officer's re-classification to a more specific refractory heading triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant documentation. Verify the precise material composition, end-use application, and processing state — raw mineral article versus shaped refractory product — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6815 91 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 mineral article is a shaped refractory product intended for industrial furnace use?

Shaped refractory articles may be classified under Chapter 69 (ceramic refractory goods), which carries its own compliance considerations, and re-classification by customs to that chapter triggers retrospective compliance obligations.
