A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry in reliance on a DGFT import authorisation obtained without the Ozone Cell recommendation, or with a recommendation that covers a different HFC blend or quantity than the consignment actually contains. The Ozone Cell recommendation is blend-specific and quantity-specific; a consignment that exceeds the authorised quota or covers a different refrigerant mixture is treated as an unauthorised Restricted-import and is liable to detention, re-export, or confiscation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3827 62 00 require BIS certification?

No; no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under policy condition no. 06 of Chapter 38, requiring an import authorisation backed by an Ozone Cell, MoEF&CC recommendation.

Is the Ozone Cell recommendation a one-time approval or is it required for each shipment?

The recommendation is linked to the DGFT import authorisation, which covers a specified quantity; each fresh authorisation requires a corresponding Ozone Cell recommendation, and authorisations are not transferable between importers or consignments.

What is the consequence of importing HFC mixtures under this HSN without a valid import authorisation?

Import without a valid DGFT authorisation violates the Restricted-import policy condition and renders the consignment liable to seizure, confiscation, and monetary penalty under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992.
