Glass cubes and other glass smallwares, whether or not on a backing, for mosaics or similar decorative purposes
Glass cubes and smallwares for mosaics or decorative purposes
HSN 7016 10 00 (glass cubes and other glass smallwares, whether or not on a backing, for mosaics or similar decorative purposes) 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 articles within Chapter 70 — notably pressed or moulded glass used in building or construction — may carry compliance obligations that do not extend to decorative glass smallwares.
Heading 7016 covers a range of glass construction and decorative products, and the precise product description on the shipping documents determines which tariff line applies; glass tiles or paving blocks classified elsewhere within the same heading may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification by customs to a construction-use glass line triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm that the goods are correctly described as decorative smallwares or mosaic pieces — not as construction articles — before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
