Key Points / Main Content
Policy Revisions
- HS Code 70051090 & 70052990: The import policy for these codes, representing specific types of clear float glass, has been changed from "Free" to "Restricted."
- Product Scope: The amendment specifically targets Clear Float Glass with a thickness ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm.
Minimum Import Price (MIP) Conditions
- Price Threshold: Imports will continue to be classified as "Free" only if the Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value is ₹34,000 or more per metric ton (MT).
- Validity: The MIP condition is set to remain applicable for a period of one year starting from August 18, 2026.
Exemptions
- Eligible Entities: Advance Authorisation holders, Export Oriented Units (EOUs), and units located in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are exempt from the MIP condition.
- Usage Restriction: This exemption applies only if the imported inputs are not sold into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).
Impact Analysis
General Importers of Clear Float Glass Impact Importers now face a "Restricted" policy environment. They can only import glass freely if they meet the minimum price threshold of ₹34,000 per MT; otherwise, the imports are subject to restrictions. Action Required Must ensure that the CIF value of imported 4 mm–12 mm clear float glass meets or exceeds the specified MIP to maintain "Free" import status.
Advance Authorisation Holders, EOUs, and SEZ Units Impact These entities are largely unaffected by the new price restrictions for their operational inputs, allowing them to maintain their current import costs for production. Action Required Must ensure and document that none of the glass imported under this exemption is diverted or sold into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).
