Sheets and strip

Lead sheets and strip, thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7804 11 10 (lead sheets and strip, thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm) 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. Thicker lead plates, lead foil, lead powders, and lead flakes classified elsewhere in Chapter 78 may attract distinct compliance requirements; precise measurement and product specification determine the correct tariff line.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: lead sheet or strip measured incorrectly against the 0.2 mm thickness threshold — excluding any backing — may be re-classified by customs to a sibling line within Chapter 78, triggering retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Lead articles with end-use in radiation shielding, batteries, or construction may also attract scrutiny under end-use notifications separate from tariff-line compliance. Verify product dimensions and intended use against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7804 11 10 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 lead sheet or strip exceeds 0.2 mm in thickness?

Material exceeding the 0.2 mm threshold falls under a different tariff line within Chapter 78 and may attract separate compliance or duty treatment, with re-classification by customs triggering retrospective obligations.
