Containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium
Unwrought magnesium of at least 99.8% purity
HSN 8104 11 00 (unwrought magnesium containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium) 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 magnesium headings within Chapter 81 — covering alloys, waste, scrap, and wrought forms — may attract distinct compliance, making precise classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to unwrought magnesium at the 99.8% purity threshold; lower-purity grades, magnesium alloys, and wrought or fabricated magnesium articles are separately classified within Chapter 81 and may carry their own compliance regimes. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, where the declared purity cannot be verified against test certificates — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Importers should retain mill certificates and third-party assay reports confirming the 99.8% specification prior to shipment.
