Cullet and other waste and scrap of glass
Cullet and waste scrap of glass (excluding CRT glass)
HSN 7001 00 10 (Cullet and other waste and scrap of glass) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with import of glass waste governed by Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy. Compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 applies as a mandatory overlay at the bill of entry.
- ITC (HS) policy compliance from DGFT
- Hazardous waste movement documents from CPCB
- Transboundary movement consent from State authority
- 1Verify that the import satisfies Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy under the ITC (HS) schedule before filing the bill of entry. Glass waste falling outside the permissible conditions of Para 8(b) is liable to be treated as a prohibited import and detained at the port of entry.Para 8(b) of General Notes regarding import policy, ITC (HS) Schedule I
- 2Ensure full compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, covering transboundary movement consent and documentation requirements. Upload all requisite hazardous-waste movement documents in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
The most common error on this tariff line is treating cullet as an ordinary raw material and overlooking the hazardous-waste overlay under Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. Absence of prior informed consent documentation and transboundary movement authorisation results in consignment detention and potential confiscation under those Rules, irrespective of whether the ITC (HS) policy condition under Para 8(b) is otherwise satisfied.
