Unwrought lead, other than refined or antimonial
HSN 7801 99 90 (unwrought lead — other than refined or antimonial) 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. Refined lead and lead alloys classified elsewhere within Chapter 78 may carry distinct compliance; the precise metallurgical specification of the material determines which tariff line applies.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to neighbouring lines within Chapter 78: refined lead (minimum 99.99% purity) and antimonial lead alloys are separately classified and may attract their own compliance or licensing requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — triggered by a certificate of analysis showing purity or alloy content inconsistent with the declared heading — results in detention pending the applicable regime and retrospective duty recovery. Verify the alloy composition and purity grade against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
