Porcelain or china ceramic wares for laboratory and technical uses

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6909 11 00 (ceramic wares for laboratory, chemical, or other technical uses, of porcelain or china) 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 products within Chapter 69 — particularly household or ornamental wares — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations, making precise classification essential.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects its specific scope: porcelain or china articles destined for laboratory, chemical, or technical use. Ceramic articles of similar material but classified to household, sanitary, or construction-use lines within Chapter 69 sit under separate tariff entries and may attract distinct obligations. Re-classification on customs examination to a line that carries compliance triggers retrospective liability, including detention pending the relevant requirement — verify declared end-use against the technical specification before shipment.
