Glass for sun glasses

Glass for sun glasses, not optically worked

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7015 90 20 (glass for sun glasses) 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 glass products within Chapter 70 — including optically worked ophthalmic glass or finished spectacle lenses — may fall under distinct tariff lines that carry compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: customs may re-examine whether imported glass has been optically worked or is intended for corrective spectacles rather than sun glasses, each distinction potentially shifting the classification to a line with compliance consequences. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the product specification — optical working status, curvature, and declared end-use — against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7015 90 20 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.

What changes if the glass is optically worked or intended for corrective spectacles?

Optically worked ophthalmic glass and corrective spectacle lenses are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 70 or Chapter 90 and may attract distinct compliance or Partner Government Agency requirements.
