Disposable catridge blades

Disposable cartridge blades for safety razors

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8212 20 11 (disposable cartridge blades) 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 tariff lines within Chapter 82 covering razors, razor blade blanks in strips, or complete razor assemblies may carry distinct classification requirements, making precise product description on the bill of entry essential.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the specific classification of disposable cartridge blades; sibling lines within heading 8212 — covering complete razors or razor blade blanks in strip form — are separately classified and may attract different regulatory treatment. Customs re-classification of a declared cartridge-blade shipment to a different tariff line within Chapter 82 triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm that the commercial invoice and packing list describe the product as disposable cartridge blades, consistent with the tariff-line scope.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8212 20 11 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 a complete razor rather than a disposable cartridge blade?
Complete razors are classified under a different tariff line within heading 8212 and may attract separate compliance obligations, making accurate product description on import documents critical.
