NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7804 19 90 (lead plates, sheets, strip, and foil — other) 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. Lead products in specific fabricated forms or intended for battery applications may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 78 that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all lead articles: lead-acid battery plates and other specifically described lead products within Chapter 78 may attract separate compliance regimes, and any re-classification by customs to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise product form — thickness, surface treatment, and intended end-use — against the customs tariff before treating this absence of compliance as definitive.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7804 19 90 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 product is a specifically described plate or strip form?

More specifically described lead plates or strips within Chapter 78 may be classified under a different tariff line that carries its own compliance requirements, with any customs re-classification triggering retrospective obligations.
