Roofing tiles

Ceramic roofing tiles for constructional use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6905 10 00 (ceramic roofing tiles) 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 constructional goods within Chapter 69 — such as flooring, wall tiles, or refractory products — may attract separate compliance obligations, making accurate product classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all ceramic constructional goods under Chapter 69; ceramic floor and wall tiles, in particular, have historically been the subject of quality control scrutiny in India. Re-classification by customs — for example, from roofing tiles to a wall or floor tile heading — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Verify the product's declared use, physical form, and installation context against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6905 10 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 ceramic product is a floor or wall tile rather than a roofing tile?

Floor and wall tiles are classified under a separate heading within Chapter 69 and may attract distinct compliance obligations, including Quality Control Order coverage, upon re-classification by customs.
