Sub-Heading Notes:-

For the purposes of sub-heading 2852 10, the expression "chemically defined" means all organic or inorganic compounds of mercury meeting the requirements of clauses (a) to (e) of Note 1 to Chapter 28 or clauses ( a) to (h) of Note 1 to Chapter 29.

Policy Conditions of this Chapter:

(1) Import of ‘Prescribed substances’ as notified by Department of Atomic Energy shall be subject to the provisions of Atomic Energy Act, 1962 and Rules made there under
