HSN 7018 10 90 (Other glass beads, imitation pearls, imitation precious or semi-precious stones, and similar glass smallwares) 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 — including certain flat glass, safety glass, and glass fibres — may fall under Quality Control Orders that do not extend to this tariff line.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all glass products: articles of lamp-worked glass, glass eyes, and glass microspheres not exceeding 1 mm in diameter are separately classified within heading 7018 and may attract distinct treatment on re-examination. Customs re-classification — for instance, where a product is determined to constitute imitation jewellery under Chapter 71 — triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including potential detention pending resolution. Verify the precise product description, end-use, and construction method against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
