Razors, other than safety razors or cartridge razors

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8212 10 90 (razors, other than the more specifically classified types) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Razor blades, blade blanks in strips, and safety razors are classified separately within Chapter 82 and may carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The residual nature of this tariff line — covering razors not elsewhere specified within heading 8212 — makes classification accuracy the principal import risk: a product that customs re-examines and assigns to a more specific razor or razor-blade sub-heading may attract retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the exact product form, blade configuration, and trade description against the full heading 8212 structure before treating the absence of compliance here as conclusive.
