HSN 28054000 covers mercury in its elemental metallic form, traded in flasks or steel cylinders as a dense liquid metal used in industrial and chlor-alkali processes.
Mercury exports from India are tightly restricted under the Minamata Convention and require a specific DGFT export license; shipments move in sealed steel flasks (34.5 kg standard) with UN 2809 hazardous cargo documentation, and many destination countries now ban mercury imports outright.
