Aluminium pot scourers, scouring pads, polishing gloves and like
HSN 7615 10 40 (aluminium pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like) 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 aluminium household and kitchen articles within Chapter 76 — including pressure cookers and cookware — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 76 heading: aluminium cookware and pressure cookers are subject to Quality Control Orders targeting specific product categories, and a customs officer who re-classifies a consignment into a covered tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Confirm that the product description on the bill of entry precisely matches the scouring or polishing function — not cookware or utensils — before relying on the absence of compliance.
