Molybdenum wire

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8102 96 00 (molybdenum 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 molybdenum articles and forms — including waste, scrap, or powders classified elsewhere within heading 8102 — may attract distinct treatment depending on form and end-use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: molybdenum wire intended for specific industrial applications such as heating elements or electrode blanks may be re-described by customs as a more specific article of Chapter 81, triggering retrospective duty recovery and detention pending re-classification. Confirm the precise product specification — diameter, temper, surface finish, and declared end-use — against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8102 96 00 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 molybdenum is imported as waste, scrap, or powder rather than wire?

Those forms are classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8102 and may carry different duty rates or compliance requirements, making accurate description at the time of entry essential.
