HSN Code Details
Unlike HSN 25232980, which covers ordinary Portland cement, HSN 25232990 specifically denotes hydrophobic Portland cement that must meet the stipulated water‑repellent performance criteria. It is a fine, gray powder formulated with additives that give it resistance to moisture penetration.
When shipping this cement, containers should be sealed and protected with moisture‑barrier liners to preserve the hydrophobic treatment, and the commercial invoice must reference the HSN code and the requirement for a conformity certificate.
