Ceramic blocks of siliceous fossil meals or similar siliceous earths
HSN 6901 00 20 (blocks of siliceous fossil meals or similar siliceous earths) 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 ceramic goods under Chapter 69 — including refractory bricks and building bricks — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all ceramic products in Chapter 69: refractory bricks and ceramic tiles used in construction are separately classified and several such lines are subject to Quality Control Orders. Re-classification by customs on examination — for example, if the goods are determined to be refractory bricks rather than siliceous-earth ceramic blocks — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the precise product composition, intended application, and siliceous-earth content against the customs tariff before relying on this absence of compliance.
