Stoppers, lids and other closures
Glass stoppers, lids, and other closures for containers
HSN 7010 20 00 (glass stoppers, lids, and other closures) 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. Glass containers classified elsewhere under heading 7010 — carboys, bottles, flasks, and ampoules — may attract distinct compliance, and the precise product form determines the correct tariff line.
Classification within heading 7010 turns on product form: a glass stopper or lid used as a closure falls here, but glass containers of the kind used for pharmaceutical or food packing may be subject to requirements under Chapter 70 sibling lines or downstream sector regulation applied at the point of end-use rather than importation. Re-classification by customs on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Confirm the product specification — material composition, intended use, and whether the item functions as a closure or as a container — before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
