Sanitary fixtures

Sanitary fixtures made of lead

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7806 00 10 (sanitary fixtures of lead) 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. Other articles of lead within Chapter 78, or sanitary ware made from different base metals such as copper or iron, may fall under tariff lines that carry separate 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 lead articles classified elsewhere in Chapter 78, nor to sanitary fixtures of other metals — cast-iron or copper sanitary ware, for instance, may carry compliance under their respective chapters. Customs re-classification on examination, particularly if the article's lead content or construction is disputed, triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the base-material composition and precise product specification before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Sanitary fixtures of copper, iron, or other base metals are classified under their respective metal chapters and may attract compliance obligations that do not apply here.
