Balls

Unworked glass balls, other than microspheres

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7002 10 00 (unworked glass balls, other than microspheres of heading 7018) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Certain worked or finished glass products within Chapter 70 — including glass fibres, safety glazing, and processed flat glass — do attract Quality Control Order compliance, making classification accuracy 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 applies specifically to unworked glass balls; downstream or further-processed glass products within Chapter 70 may fall under mandatory BIS Quality Control Orders. Customs re-classification — for instance, to a heading covering worked glass or glass fibres — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certification. Verify that the goods are genuinely unworked and correctly distinguished from microspheres classified under heading 7018 before relying on this tariff line's clear status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7002 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.

Microspheres are classified under heading 7018 and worked or finished glass products may fall under separate Chapter 70 tariff lines that attract Quality Control Order compliance, triggering registration and conformity assessment requirements.
