Wire

Tin wire, drawn from tin bars or rods

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8003 00 40 (tin 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Tin alloy products, solder wire containing lead or other metals, and tin-coated articles may fall under different headings within Chapter 80 or adjacent chapters 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 applies specifically to tin wire in its unalloyed or nominally pure form; tin-lead solder wire and other tin alloy wire products are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 80 and may attract their own requirements. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, to a solder or alloy heading — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify alloy composition, tin purity grade, and intended end-use before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8003 00 40 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.

Tin alloy wire and solder wire are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 80 and may attract distinct compliance or hazardous-material requirements depending on alloy composition.
