For lamps and lanterns
Glass articles for lamps and lanterns
HSN 7020 00 21 (glass articles for lamps and lanterns) 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 those used in electrical lighting fittings or as safety glass — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend across Chapter 70 broadly: glass components incorporated into finished luminaires or electrical fittings may attract compliance under the applicable product-specific regime for that finished article. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where glass chimneys or shades are assessed as parts of a regulated luminaire — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise end-use and product specification before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
