Hollow

Hollow zinc bars, rods, profiles, and wire

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7904 00 21 (hollow zinc bars, rods, profiles, and wire) 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 zinc products within Chapter 79 — such as zinc alloy wrought forms or zinc tubes — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that attract 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 the broader zinc products category: solid zinc bars, rods, or profiles, and zinc tubes classified separately within Chapter 79, each occupy distinct tariff lines that may carry their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — triggered by a mismatch in the declared form or alloy composition — exposes the importer to detention pending the applicable compliance and retrospective duty recovery. Verify the precise product specification, including whether the section is hollow or solid and the zinc purity grade, before relying on the absence of compliance here.
