Unwrought tungsten, including sintered bars and rods

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8101 94 00 (unwrought tungsten, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering) 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 tungsten articles, waste, and scrap classified within Chapter 81 may be subject to separate treatment under India's export-import policy or sector-specific restrictions.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Unwrought tungsten is a strategic metal, and classification between unwrought forms, powder, waste and scrap, and finished articles within heading 8101 requires precision — each sub-heading carries its own duty rate and policy treatment. Re-classification by customs on examination can trigger retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise product form — sintered versus wrought, powder versus bar — against the customs tariff and the current ITC (HS) schedule before shipment.
