Glass statues

Glass statues and ornamental glass articles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7018 90 10 (Glass statues) 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. Other articles within Chapter 70 — particularly flat glass, safety glass, and glass used in construction — may fall under QCO-notified tariff lines that carry mandatory BIS certification.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 70 family: glass products intended for construction, glazing, or safety applications attract BIS Quality Control Orders at their respective tariff lines, and a customs re-classification away from glass statues to a functional glass article triggers retrospective compliance. Verify that the goods are correctly described as decorative or ornamental — not functional — and that the IEC is in order before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7018 90 10 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 article is functional rather than ornamental?

Functional glass articles — such as those used in construction or glazing — may be classified under a different Chapter 70 tariff line that carries mandatory BIS certification, and customs re-classification to such a line triggers retrospective compliance.
