HSN Code Details
The ceramics and refractory industry primarily drives demand for steatite lumps, which are dense, fine‑grained blocks of soapstone that can be easily machined or carved. These raw pieces are typically extracted in sizable chunks and exhibit a smooth, non‑porous surface.
When shipping steatite lumps, pack them in moisture‑resistant wooden crates or steel containers with desiccant liners to prevent water absorption; the product is freely exportable from India without a license, so commercial invoices and a certificate of origin suffice for customs clearance.
