DEAR ABHI,

BATTERY SCRP ARE CLASSFIED UNDER HSN 8548 1010 AND THESE ARE RESTRICTED FOR IMPORTS AS THESE ARE NOTIFIED UNDER E WATER REGULATIONS OF MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FOREST. YOU NEED TO GET A IMPORT LICENCE FROM DGFT, THEN ONLY YOU CAN IMPORT

The term ‘e-waste’ is generally understood to refer to any old, obsolete, end-of-life
appliances using electricity which have been disposed off by their owners. E-waste thus
would include discarded old computers, television sets, refrigerators, radios,
telecommunication equipment, laboratory equipment, and other handheld gadgets –
basically any electrical or electronic appliance that has reached its end-of-life.
E-waste has been one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. While e-waste
contains valuable materials such as aluminium, copper, gold, palladium and silver, it also
contains harmful substances like cadmium, lead and mercury. In the absence of suitable
techniques and protective measures, recycling e-waste can result in toxic emissions to
the air, water and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazards.
