Unrefined lead
Unwrought lead, unrefined (excluding refined and alloyed lead)
HSN 7801 99 20 (unrefined lead, unwrought) 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 unwrought lead products within Chapter 78 — including refined lead and lead alloys — occupy distinct tariff lines that may carry separate compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to closely related lead products: refined lead and lead alloys classified elsewhere within Chapter 78 each occupy their own tariff lines and may carry distinct regulatory treatment. Re-classification by customs on examination — for instance, where the declared purity grade brings the material within a more specific line — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending the applicable requirement. Verify the precise refining grade and alloy composition against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
