Tungsten filament, wrought or semi-finished

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8101 99 10 (Tungsten filament) 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 or waste and scrap within Chapter 81 may be classified under distinct tariff lines that carry separate compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Tungsten filament is a precision intermediate product used across lighting, electronics, and industrial heating applications; its classification at 8101 99 10 depends on the product being filament specifically, not wire, rod, or sheet of a different dimension or finish. Re-classification by customs to an alternative line within heading 8101 — such as tungsten wire or bars — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the precise product specification, including diameter tolerance and surface condition, against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8101 99 10 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 product is tungsten wire, bars, or rods rather than filament?

Tungsten in other wrought forms is classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8101 and may attract distinct compliance or duty treatment; re-classification by customs to the more specific line triggers retrospective compliance.
