Wire
Tungsten wire (wolfram wire)
HSN 8101 96 00 (tungsten 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. Other tungsten and wolfram articles — including unwrought tungsten, powders, rods, and waste and scrap — are classified under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 81 that may carry distinct compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all tungsten articles: unwrought forms, powders, and scrap classified elsewhere in Chapter 81 each occupy separate tariff lines that merit independent compliance review. A customs officer who re-classifies the goods — for instance, treating drawn wire as a finished article under a different subheading — triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise product specification, including diameter, tensile grade, and end-use declaration, against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
