Ingots, pigs, slabs and other primary forms of tin

Unwrought tin, not alloyed, in primary forms

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8001 10 90 (ingots, pigs, slabs and other primary forms of unalloyed tin) 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. Tin alloys and tin-based articles elsewhere in Chapter 80, or tin compounds classified in other chapters, may fall under distinct tariff lines with their own compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal risk for importers at this tariff line is misclassification: alloyed tin, tin powders, and wrought tin products each attract separate headings within Chapter 80, and a customs officer's re-classification to a more specific line can trigger retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Confirm that the product's alloy composition, form, and intended use squarely match the heading before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8001 10 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 tin contains alloying elements?
Alloyed tin is classified under a separate subheading within Chapter 80 and may attract different duty rates and compliance requirements, making precise alloy composition declaration on the bill of entry essential.
