Wire

Magnesium wire, other than wrought or alloy forms

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8104 90 30 (magnesium 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 magnesium articles — including waste, scrap, and wrought forms classified elsewhere under Chapter 81 — may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on form and intended use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to magnesium wire; magnesium in other forms — powders, turnings, or fabricated articles — may be classified under sibling lines within Chapter 81 that carry different treatment, including hazardous-goods restrictions given magnesium's flammability characteristics. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the precise product form and alloy specification against the customs tariff schedule before finalising the import entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8104 90 30 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 magnesium is imported as powder, turnings, or scrap rather than wire?

Those forms are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 81 and may attract distinct compliance or hazardous-goods handling requirements, particularly given magnesium's reactive properties.
