NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8212 20 19 (Other safety razor blades, including razor blade blanks in strips) 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 sets, or specific blade types may carry distinct compliance; classification against the precise product form is the principal importer risk.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the full heading: razors, razor sets, and safety razors proper (classified separately within heading 8212) each occupy distinct tariff lines that may carry their own compliance regimes. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a consignment is determined to constitute a complete razor rather than loose blades — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the precise product form and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8212 20 19 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.

Complete razors and razor sets are classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8212 and may attract distinct compliance; re-classification by customs to the more specific line triggers retrospective compliance.
