Founts for kerosene wick lamps

Glass founts for kerosene wick lamps

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7020 00 12 (Founts for kerosene wick lamps) 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 of glass within Chapter 70 — particularly safety glass, glass fibres, or laboratory glassware — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance; precise product classification is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to glass founts for kerosene wick lamps; broader Chapter 70 covers a wide range of glassware articles, several of which attract Quality Control Order requirements. A customs examination that re-characterises the goods as a different article of glass — or as a component of a regulated lamp assembly under Chapter 94 — can trigger retrospective compliance and detention. Verify that the product description on the bill of entry precisely matches the tariff-line scope before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7020 00 12 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 imported glass article is not a kerosene lamp fount but a different glassware item?

Other articles of glass classified elsewhere within Chapter 70 may attract Quality Control Order compliance, and re-classification by customs to the more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance obligations.
