Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Confirm that the goods imported fall under the residual 'Other' description of CTI 6914 90 90. The Free import policy is conditional on the product description matching 'Other' within this CTI; mis-described goods or goods properly classifiable under a different CTI in Chapter 69 are not entitled to the Free policy status effective 26 November 2024.

  2. 2
    File the bill of entry with standard customs documentation. No PGA-specific licence, NOC, or e-Sanchit PGA document upload is required under the current Free policy; however, normal Customs Act, 1962 valuation and classification obligations apply at the port of import.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing goods that are more specifically classifiable elsewhere in Chapter 69 — such as ceramic sanitary ware (6910), ceramic tableware (6911-6912), or ceramic statuettes (6913) — and claiming the residual Free policy of 6914 90 90. Customs officers routinely re-examine classification at the bill of entry; a reclassification into a Restricted or BIS-controlled CTI after goods arrive attracts detention, re-assessment of applicable duties, and potential PGA-compliance enforcement.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6914 90 90 require BIS certification?
No, this residual tariff line is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed solely by the ITC (HS) Free import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, effective 26 November 2024.
When did the Free import policy for this CTI take effect?
The Free import policy for products falling under the 'Other' description of CTI 6914 90 90 took effect on 26 November 2024 per the ITC (HS) import policy update.
What happens if the imported ceramic goods are reclassified out of 6914 90 90 by customs?
Reclassification into a more specific Chapter 69 CTI that carries a Restricted policy or a BIS Quality Control Order triggers detention, re-assessment of applicable duties and PGA-compliance requirements, and potential confiscation if the required licences or certifications are absent.
