Asbestos metallic packings and gaskets (excluding gaskets of asbestos board reinforced with metal gauze or wire)

Asbestos metallic packings and gaskets, metal-sheeting combined

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8484 10 10 (asbestos metallic packings and gaskets, excluding those of asbestos board reinforced with metal gauze or 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 gaskets and mechanical seals within Chapter 84, or asbestos-containing materials classified under Chapter 68, may carry distinct compliance obligations depending on composition and intended use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Asbestos-containing products attract heightened scrutiny across multiple regulatory frameworks; while this tariff line carries no current Quality Control Order, customs examiners may query composition documentation and asbestos content on arrival. Re-classification to a more specific tariff line — for instance, gaskets of asbestos board reinforced with metal gauze or wire, or pure asbestos-fibre articles under Chapter 68 — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify material composition, asbestos type, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8484 10 10 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 gasket is made of asbestos board reinforced with metal gauze or wire?

That product description falls outside this tariff line and is separately classified within Chapter 84, where different compliance obligations may apply upon customs examination.
